In February 2018, we started our pilot-project called ‘Water Quarter‘ or ‘tap-water friendly Mariannenkiez and its neighborhood’.
What is the project about?
The Water Quarter Project’s goal is to make the neighborhood more tap water friendly, and kick plastic bottles out! The project is focused in Berlin-Kreuzberg (Germany), and it is actually the first time ever that a whole district is working towards the promotion of tap water!

What are our key target groups?
The Water Quarter Project has a very ambitious goal of reaching as many people as possible, this includes children, businesses, restaurants, and everyday Berliners.

We collaborate with local businesses and organizations helping them become tap water friendly. Organizations that received our “tap water friendly” sticker are committed not using water bottles.
