World Oceans Day

Every glass of water we drink is part of a much bigger story. While the connection between your kitchen tap and the ocean may not be obvious, the choices we make around water use and waste have an impact far beyond our homes and offices.

World Oceans Day, observed globally on the 8th of June, is a reminder that we each play a role in protecting the marine environments that sustain life on Earth. From plastic waste to energy overuse, what we do has a lasting impact on our oceans. We believe meaningful change often starts with small, well-informed decisions, like how you choose to access your drinking water.

World Oceans Day matters more than ever

Recognised by the United Nations since 2008 (United Nations), World Oceans Day raises awareness of the threats facing our marine ecosystems. Oceans regulate the climate, provide most of the oxygen we breathe, and support an incredible range of biodiversity. However, they are under increasing pressure from pollution, warming, and overuse.

What’s less known is how everyday choices on land, like using bottled water or inefficient kitchen appliances, contribute to these problems. Making sustainable choices in our homes and workplaces can offer a tangible way to reduce our impact.

How the ocean starts at your tap

The link between your tap and the sea might not be obvious, but it’s real. Every time we boil a full kettle for a single cup, energy is wasted. Each time we use single-use plastic bottles, we increase demand for packaging that often ends up in waterways. These habits, repeated across thousands of homes and businesses, have environmental consequences.

Switching to an instant filtered water system isn’t just a lifestyle upgrade, it’s a choice to reduce plastic waste, cut carbon emissions and conserve energy.

Why Billi systems are a smarter, greener choice

Designed and manufactured in Melbourne, Billi’s systems are built for performance, longevity and sustainability. Our heat exchange technology reuses energy from the chilling process to assist in boiling, reducing overall power consumption. Our water-cooled models eliminate the need for ventilation grilles and operate quietly, making them ideal for both commercial and residential settings.

Every system is backed by certifications that matter: Global GreenTag Gold, ISO 9001, and WELL. These ensure not only environmental integrity but also health and design excellence. Learn more about our sustainability commitments and water efficient technology.

Advanced water filtration with every pour

Supporting our sustainability efforts are the highest quality filters for drinking water; the Fibron X® multi-stage filtration. This premium water filtration targets chlorine, lead and other contaminants, while retaining essential minerals. While maintaining the heat-exchange efficiency, this filtration provides high-quality drinking water on demand with no plastic bottles required.

Supporting you with reliable service and smart technology

A sustainable system must be built to last, so we have BilliCare plans to support you. Our Gold and Silver service plans ensure timely maintenance, priority repairs and regular filter changes by accredited technicians.

Our Refillable CO2 Plans help eliminate single-use sparkling cartridges, significantly reducing landfill waste. Every filtered litre means less packaging, less transport, and less energy, a measurable benefit to your environmental footprint.

Furthermore, smart alerts notify users when a filter change is due, and all replacements are done using genuine Billi parts. It’s a ‘set and forget’ solution that delivers consistent water quality with minimal disruption.

What about cost, maintenance and health?

If you’re weighing up the cost of installing a filtered system, consider the long-term benefits: reduced electricity use, no need for bottled water, and minimal maintenance through service plans. Billi systems are engineered for durability, backed by an Australia-wide network of technicians and efficient support.

Hygiene is front of mind too. Our enclosed systems help prevent contamination, while our cool-to-touch boiling dispensers and optional safety locks make them safe for both workplace and family use.

Make a choice that aligns with your values

World Oceans Day isn’t only about marine life, it’s about the everyday actions that shape our planet’s future. Choosing a filtered water system that reduces waste, saves energy and enhances wellness is a step in the right direction.
