In the spring of 2018, tap embarked on a mission to eliminate the single-use plastic water bottle. The company was founded on the idea that water is a human right, we must democratize access to clean drinking water worldwide, and technology can be utilized to enable anyone to fulfill their basic physiological human need for water. It was also founded on the knowledge that almost a billion people worldwide do not have access to clean drinking water, and the search to obtain that water largely disenfranchises women and children by limiting their access to the workforce and education. Furthermore, the transport of packaged water is a major contributor to global carbon emissions, while the broken recycling system makes packaged water one of the largest contributors to pollution in oceans, waterways, and landfills worldwide.
