Quick plastic facts
The more we know about the dangers of single-use plastic, the better. Education is a key part of what we do at Sprudel and it is vital in our quest to help the population of the United Arab Emirates to understand the issue of plastic. By educating businesses, restaurant-owners and families alike, we hope they […]
Toxins from Plastic Drinking Water Bottles
From the previous blog, you would have read that we have recently conducted a laboratory test for one of our new clients. We found a 5-gallon water dispenser that had been employed for years in the office was harboring a bacteria count that was off the charts. This did not come as a surprise to us […]
Bacteria contamination in 5-gallon dispensers
To start with, this is in no way condemning the use of 5-gallon water dispensers. We know that some offices are unable to install a Point-of-use water dispenser. Whilst we would love every office in Dubai to have a plastic free water solution, we know it is simply not possible due to the lack of […]
Secondary Microplastics
After taking a look at Primary Microplastics a few weeks ago and learning about the devastating impact plastic pellets have on our planet, this week we’re talking about the other kind of Microplastics: Secondary. So what are Secondary Microplastics? Secondary Microplastics can be defined as pieces of plastic (again, under 5mm in size) that started out as larger […]
Desalination in Dubai
In order to educate corporates on their drinking water, we have to take a step back and understand the background behind drinking water in Dubai. As people living in Dubai, we are inhabiting an area of the world that experiences a desert climate, roughly half of the year on average. That climate is characterised with high […]
Primary Microplastics
The term ‘Microplastics’ became quite mainstream in 2018, with the help of such documentaries like David Attenborough’s ‘Blue Planet II’ and the BBC’s ‘Drowning in plastic’. It is a term given to tiny fragments of plastic and is a word that everyone should know about. Why we should care about Primary Microplastics Microplastics are dangerous. They […]
Are you Sitting too Long?
We are always looking at various ways that we can help our clients become better. Not only in business but in their personal lives too. At the end of the day, if your workforce is not healthy, then you are a chain as strong as its weakest link. There has to be equilibrium between deep […]
2019 Goals
Happy New Year! 2019 will be very different for Sprudel. In our almost 5 years of existence we have tried (and failed) in different ways to engage new potential clients. We look back to the start of 2014 with a smile as we remember going into office blocks around town, pressing the highest floor of the […]
The Attenborough effect
With the usual winter season rush out of the way, we finally have time to revisit our blogs. To be honest, the winter 2017/18 has been our busiest ever. We have become the trusted water partner of quite a few multi national companies in very different sectors. A couple of years ago it would have […]
Low sodium
Drive down Sheikh Zayed Road, open your daily local newspaper, scroll through social media ads or listen to the radio and you will almost certainly see or hear an advert for low sodium water or zero sodium water…or sodium less than 0.0000000000000000000001% (which is quite a small amount). What you should know about the sodium […]
