What are we doing ?
Mission
Improving drinking in Slovakia and reducing PET waste at the same time
Our goal is to permanently reduce PET waste.
With Celeste PRO filtration we treat drinking water from the tap. This way, it acquires infant quality and an exceptional taste.
We provide selected locations with a 100% subsidy for the purchase of filtration equipment, paid for by the Celeste © enviro project.

Our focus
Protection of the environment
Today, climate change and environmental disruption is a huge issue and challenge that we must face as a society. According to several expert sources, we have only a few years left to start treating the environment differently.
If this does not happen, our Earth will find itself in a situation that will no longer be solvable.
One of the many ways in which we as a society are contributing to the deterioration of the environment is through the overconsumption of PET bottles.
The world currently produces 300 million tonnes of plastic waste per year. A large amount of this huge mass ends up in the oceans. However, it does not completely decompose in nature.
It takes 400 years for the plastic to partially decompose – it breaks down into smaller particles. These are then harmful to animals and also to us humans.
Health promotion
If we drink too little, the fluid is first lost from the extracellular spaces, then from the blood and finally from the cell. The blood thickens and flows more heavily through the thinnest of the hair vessels supplying the body with oxygen and nutrients. The brain, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and muscles suffer the most. Brain cells do not work optimally, there is a feeling of fatigue, drowsiness, the heart works against more resistance and the muscles begin to produce more harmful waste products, reducing our performance. Our memory, concentration and overall mental vitality also suffer.
Environment
Reducing PET waste at the individual level will be achieved by improving the quality and taste of tap water. This will significantly reduce buying water from the store and producing PET waste.
Health
The filtration PRO with chlorine-free water supports our immunity. It helps with high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, liver, gallbladder, stomach and digestive disorders.
Quality of life
We will learn to drink always fresh and tasty water, which will visibly improve the quality of life for us and our loved ones.
Unfiltered tap water : YES or NO ?
Harmful health effects of chlorine
It is mandatory to chlorinate tap water. The chlorine in the water kills various bacteria that would be dangerous to us. But the problem is that chlorine itself is also very harmful to us.
Bad taste
It is the bad taste that is a major factor why most people refuse to drink tap water. It smells of chlorine and deposits from rusty pipes. These people buy mineral water from the shop because of this, producing a huge amount of PET waste, and in many cases the quality is no better - the water is often spoiled by improper storage in the shop.
More than 100 years old water pipes
In many towns in Slovakia, the pipes are more than 100 years old. Under the influence of time, they are clogged, rusty and contain various harmful metals that degrade the quality and taste of tap water.
Disadvantages of store-bought water
PET waste generated and low-quality plastic
Buying water from the store generates a huge amount of PET waste. It accumulates on the ground and causes many environmental problems. Just one average household throws away up to 1 460 PET bottles a year. The second problem with water bought in PET bottles is its reduced quality. The plastic is released into them over time which changes the original quality of the water and causes health problems.
Poor storage of water in the shop
Bottled water should be stored properly at temperatures up to 20 degrees. Otherwise, it may spoil. This is often not the case when it is stored on the distribution route. It is transported in unconditioned trucks, sits outside in the sun before storage and is kept out of refrigerators in stores. Because of this, we buy it from the store, especially in the summer months, considerably spoiled.
High price and the need to buy it regularly
Buying bottled water is the most expensive option for drinking. 1.5 litres of mineral water costs on average 0.6€. This amounts to €72 per month for a family of four and 180kg of shop-bought water when consuming one bottle per person per day.
Insufficient drinking
Because of the high price and the difficulty of handling the bottles, we drink little water. This has strong negative consequences on our health. An average 70kg person should drink at least 3 litres of pure water with a proper drinking regime, which would mean 2 bottles of store-bought mineral water a day.
