Where it all started
The LUQEL story began when our founder Josef Schucker saw first-hand just how many plastic bottles have polluted the world’s oceans.
Understanding that people will always want to enjoy mineralised water, Josef questioned whether disposable plastic bottles were necessary to fulfil that need.
Sustainability is very much at the heart of what we do – and why we do it, at LUQEL.

Our mission
Global change
We intend to reduce the global annual consumption of plastic bottles by 5 billion per annum from 2026.
We do not need harmful, single-use plastic bottles to meet the demands for drinking mineralised water. There is a better way that uses a sustainable water source – LUQEL.
Why not join on our missions and become part of the water revolution?

What we do for sustainability
Sustainable water source
System runs off of mains water, locally sourced water.
Sustainable materials
All Smart Re-usable Bottles are made from either stainless steel or glass, the system itself it designed with minimal use of plastic.
Stainless steel filter housings
Unnecessary hard plastics are not used with our filter housings, we use stainless steel and re-use the housings with a life of 10 years plus.
Recycled coconut shells
Our Actived Carbon filters use recycled coconut shells that are burned to create charcoal that is used to filter.
