Congratulations! Celebrating 15 Years of Dopper’s Mission for Water and Sustainability
As a proud member of our Chamber of Commerce, Dopper marks an extraordinary milestone: 15 years of transforming a bold movement into a global mission for sustainable water use. From its founding by Merijn Everaarts in the Netherlands, Dopper was never “just a bottle,” but a symbol of change empowering people everywhere to choose refill over single-use, drastically reducing plastic pollution.
Over the past decade and a half, Dopper’s impact speaks volumes:
Prevented over 5.1 billion single-use bottles and 127 million kilos of plastic from polluting our environment.
Supported access to safe drinking water for more than 190,000 people in Nepal—every bottle sold contributing to global water projects.
Every Dopper bottle replaces an estimated 104 disposable ones per year.
The Dopper Original is the world’s first Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold reusable bottle, setting the standard for circular, responsible design.
The production relies 100% on renewable energy, with zero direct emissions.
Over 130,000 refill stations across Europe mapped, boosting refilling as a habit.
Dopper products inspire behaviour change and are embedded in European festivals, organizations, and even the European Parliament to champion the shift away from single-use plastics.
For a decade, Dopper remains a certified B Corp, blending environmental and social goals at the highest corporate standards.
The company also invests directly in education, awareness campaigns, and innovative projects for circularity, such as Digital Product Passports and Take-Back programs.
Our Chamber congratulates Merijn Everaarts and the entire Dopper community, whose mission continues to inspire a wave of sustainable action. Their story proves that with collective effort, every refill truly matters—and the journey is far from over. Let’s keep supporting initiatives for a future with clean, accessible water for all, and an end to single-use plastics
