Scottsdale, AZ – October 8, 2014 – Today, Aqwastream®, http://www.aqwastream.com announced that their new, machine-to machine (M2M) technology-based, personal water-bottle refill and digital media station will be available to attendees at the Arizona Recycling Coalition 2014 Conference, ‘Beyond the Bin’, October 22, 2014 http://arizonarecyclingcoalition.com/events.php
The Aqwastream® Refill and Information Station (ARIS-32-1) allows anyone to get cool, fresh-tasting water for free while viewing digital content about initiatives affecting our environment via a M2M micro-broadcast network.
The stations reduce the amount of single-use, plastic water bottles going into landfills and oceans. At the same time, they give schools, corporate sponsors, organizations, and more the ability to monitor and share their branding and social responsibility messages with a hard-to-reach, targeted audience.
The focus of the 2014 AzRC Conference is Waste Diversion: Thinking Beyond the Bin. “This year’s conference is focusing on unique, waste-diversion methods and processes,” states Tiffany Hilburn, Keep Phoenix Beautiful Special Events Director, who is managing the event. “All attendees will be getting a reusable water bottle to use at the event, which we encourage using at the Aqwastream station and beyond!”
“As members of the AzRC, we’re looking forward to providing a valuable service at the event,” states Mare Van Dyke, Aqwastream Founding Partner and CEO. “We know the impact our stations can make on diverting plastic waste. Our Pilot Station at ASU’s Sun Devil Fitness Center in Tempe dispensed over 90,000 fills since December 2013.”
Aqwastream’s M2M Technology Promotes Sustainable Messaging and Saves Plastic Water Bottles
• Enjoy free water.
“Anyone can easily fill their own, personal-size bottle with filtered, cool water within 10 seconds for free at the highly visible, 90” tall, 32” wide, and 21” deep station,” states Warren Van Dyke, Aqwastream® Station Designer and VP of Manufacturing. The station is ADA compliant, and includes state-of-the art filtration technology that filters water with virtually no waste.
• Manage viewer content and get data feedback.
Consumers and passersby view engaging, green and brand content on the 32” display. Digital media management software allows a playlist to reach a targeted audience, and provide anonymous viewer data to advertisers.
• Access real-time data and reduce service calls with a total systems solution.
“Aqwastream® stations are equipped with sensors to monitor and record real-time data about station use and media views, operating efficiencies, messaging, and more so that they consistently operate at optimal efficiency,” states Stephen Owst, Aqwastream Founding Partner and CTO. This remote systems management lessens the carbon footprint made by unnecessary, service calls. To further reduce energy waste, station monitors can be turned off when buildings are closed.
