*NEW* Tap Tags help conserve water this summer

We are pleased to announce the launch of our new ‘Tap Tag’ for the garden tap – a low cost, eye-catching reminder for people to use water responsibly this summer. 

Given that gardeners’ contribution to water consumption rises from an average of 7% of domestic use to 50-70% in peak summer months after a dry period, as researched by Waterwise and RHS, we think there is scope for encouraging more people to reduce water consumption outside the house.

A range of tap tags

We have developed a number of different designs to help remind you to save water this summer - for dripping taps, eco gardening or car washing.

Opportunities for bespoke messages

Commercial clients may be interested to present their own campaign messages on a bespoke product, including a headline message, a URL to your website and your logo.  On the reverse it could include guidelines or key messages on saving water in the garden, such as: 

  • 5,000 litres of water a year from one dripping tap costs around £18 – that’s money straight down the drain
  • Don't use sprinkler systems - they use around 1,000 litres an hour and encourage shallow roots
  • Most lawns only need 1” of water a week to thrive
  • Mulching the ground with organic matter can provide the equivalent of 5cm rain or 20 days' supply
  • Washing a car at home with a hose typically uses between 300-500 litres of water – try a bucket and sponge instead. 
 

Tap tags in action

Tap tags have already been used to great effect in Durham, Canada helping them to consistently reduce peak water use in targeted neighbourhoods by 30% at first, then levelling off at around 17% after a year.  More details on the trials can be found through the Waterwise website.

 
 

Effective design

Because the tap tag is designed to hang on the outdoor tap, the prompt is always at the point of use, making it more effective in helping change behaviour than a leaflet. The tag will fit into a standard envelope, is printed with UV ink to prevent fading and is made from fully recyclable Polypropylene.
