After working in the garment industry for many years and seeing the horrific problems of waste pollution first-hand, CEO and Founder of Water-to-Go, Dave Shanks, sought to create a sustainable and reusable alternative to single-use plastic water bottles. He then developed a unique filter for the bottle and so Water-to-Go was born. Realising that here was a technology that could provide clean, healthy water almost anywhere and which could also reduce the environmental damage being done was the motivation to establish the Water-to-Go brand and business.

Since then, the company has grown year on year and in a very short time, has not only added distributors and retailers in over 50 countries worldwide, but also fostered partnerships with a large number of charities, ranging from Malaria No More UK to the African Wildlife Foundation.

In this conversation we dive into the story behind Water-To-Go, digging into the issues surrounding the textile industry and waste disposal, fail working conditions, and more. We discuss whether there is a future for plastic on planet earth and explore what we can all do to help create a more sustainable way to life here and now.
