Without a decent recycling program, Laos has been struggling to manage its plastic waste. To address this crisis, EXO Laos will be requesting all clients from 10 November 2023 onwards to travel with a refillable bottle.
In order to provide clean and safe water to guests, EXO is equipping all supplied minivans and buses with a Water Refill System. This will ensure guests have access to cool, purified drinking water at all times, whether remaining in or out town.
If clients do not have a refill bottle or wish to purchase a new refillable bottle, they are readily available at shops and hotels in Laos.
In addition to EXO’s refill stations, there are also free refill spots available to the public throughout Luang Prabang. We hope to see this public effort expand throughout the country, but until then EXO’s Water Refill System will continue to be the main source for our guests.
Below you will find a step-by-step guide on how we implement the Water Refill System in our vehicles.
EXO Laos Vehicle Water Refill System
Step 1:
Water from a 40-litre UV-treated Mineral brand bottle is pumped into smaller 1.5-litre refillable water containers. Mineral consistently tests as the best available drinking water in Laos, meeting or exceeding international standards.
Step 2:
The refillable 1.5-litre water containers are stored in the vehicle’s ice box (with ice) to keep the water cool.
Step 3:
When guests need fresh water, we pour from the 1.5-litre refillable container into the guests’ own refillable bottles.
Step 4:
Enjoy! Thank you- by using the EXO Refill system, you are keeping plastic bottles out of Laos’ landfills!
