On May 26, 2026, Waterstand Inc., a water purifier rental company, concluded an agreement on the 'Promotion of Heatstroke Prevention and Reduction of Plastic Waste' with the Kaizuka City Board of Education. This initiative aims to protect students' health through proper hydration while reducing environmental impact. Waterstand will install water dispensers designed for reusable bottles in municipal elementary and compulsory education schools in Kaizuka City. This encourages daily water consumption to prevent heatstroke, a growing concern amid increasingly hot summers. Beyond health benefits, the project fosters environmental education by replacing single-use plastics with eco-friendly alternatives. The initiative aligns with Waterstand's 'Bottle Free Project', which utilizes accessible tap water to provide low-impact hydration stations. By partnering with local governments and schools nationwide, Waterstand seeks to cut 3 billion single-use plastic bottles, mitigate global warming by reducing CO2 emissions, and help communities adapt to climate change while promoting sustainable societal practices.
