\n\t\t\t\t\t\tGone are the days when we used to get our water from the fountain!

This source of supply, although economical, also served as a social link between citizens, providing opportunities for sharing, conviviality, and interaction that have gradually disappeared.

Today, through an innovative furniture concept, Fontaineo proposes to reintroduce these fountains in order to promote access to water for all and thus meet the needs and pleasures of water consumption.

\n\t\t\t\t

Fontaineo is the result of a desire to develop a social and environmental project with useful innovation that benefits everyone.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Access to water is a fundamental right that seems to be becoming increasingly scarce, even in our own country. 2.2 billion people worldwide do not have access to drinking water. Why deprive ourselves of a resource that more than a quarter of the world's population cannot obtain? All stakeholders, whether public or private, must address this issue.<\/p>


<\/span><\/p>\n

Rather than turning to bottled water, why not bring drinking fountains back to the heart of our towns and cities? Plastic bottles are a real environmental disaster and a daily scourge. <\/p>


<\/p>\n

International organizations such as the WHO and the European Union are addressing the issue, notably with the latest \u201cDrinking Water\u201d directive<\/a>,things must also change at the local level, closer to the French people. The current economic, social, and health crises, as well as environmental crises, are forcing local governments to reinvent themselves. In my opinion, water management is a key issue for the transformation of local areas and for social cohesion.<\/p>


<\/p>\n

The aim now is to propose a new, integrated, and innovative approach to water management that is accessible to all. This would involve increasing access to water for as many people as possible by installing more drinking fountains connected to the mains water supply, as well as public showers and toilets in towns and cities. Local authorities must no longer limit themselves to reactive measures such as wastewater collection and treatment.<\/p>


<\/p>\n

In this sense, Fontaineo positions itself as a true partner to local authorities and all stakeholders committed to integrated water management. We offer a return to basics, thanks to an innovative social and environmental project that combines the fight against plastic waste, the creation of convivial spaces, and safe access to water through contactless distribution. Fontaineo also cares about animal welfare, providing hydration panels for our faithful companions.<\/p>


<\/p>\n

Fontaineo's raison d'\u00eatre<\/i> is part of an eco-responsible approach thanks to short supply chain production. Designed, manufactured, and assembled in France, the fountains promote local expertise, limit carbon impact, and bring the fountain back to the heart of the village.<\/p>


<\/p>\n

I would therefore like to address all stakeholders, whether private or public, since water, as a common good, is everyone's business. More than ever, a collective effort is needed to enable us to respond to the many current challenges related to water: access to water for all, reduction of plastic bottles, protection of the oceans, etc.<\/p>\n
