What a waste

Monday, 6th October 2008

Starbucks is attracting headlines this morning after news emerged that it wastes more than 20 million litres of water a day. The coffee chain’s management insists that taps are left running in its branches as a way of reducing germs breeding in the taps.

For much more on this topic, see our special report on water in the October issue of Spectator Business.

Elliot Wilson focuses on how scarcity of clean water will become a major economic issue and Alex Brummer concentrates on the investment potential of water utilities. Other issues explored in the section include what British entrepreneurs and companies are doing in the field of water technology and role of private capital in Third World water supply.
