By using bio-based plastics instead of conventional plastics, we are reducing our carbon footprint.
SUSTAINABILITY is our company philosophy
IMPROVING NOT ONLY THE QUALITY OF WATER –
BUT ALSO THE ENVIRONMENT.
ACLARIS has been perfecting the art of water purification for almost 30 years. As the CREATORS OF FINE WATERS, we strive to produce water tailored to each and every customer and application. Because sustainability is an integral part of our DNA, we always consider carefully the environmental impact of our processes and activities. This shapes not only our products and technologies but also our identity as a company and as individuals. We embrace our responsibility to make the world a little better, day by day.
PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGIES
WATER FILTERS FOR COFFEE MACHINES:
LONGER LIFESPAN.
FEWER RESOURCES.
LIMESCALE PROTECTION
The hot water used in appliances causes stubborn limescale deposits to form, making limescale the natural enemy of all coffee machines.
Our water filters extend the operating life of expensive appliances, enabling them to operate smoothly year after year instead of winding up in a landfill before the end of their intended lifespan. Moreover, appliances with good limescale protection require less frequent repair, which means that fewer service trips and fewer replacement parts are necessary.
FEWER CHEMICALS
When equipped with our water filters, coffee machines require no descaling or need it much less often. This makes aggressive descaling chemicals unnecessary and saves time as well.
MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY
Compared to other products, our water filters for the food service industry have a higher capacity despite their smaller size. This means they deliver higher performance while requiring fewer raw materials in their production.
OUR UNIQUE MINTEC TECHNOLOGY:
MORE CONVENIENCE.
FEWER PLASTIC BOTTLES.
MEETING EVEN THE HIGHEST EXPECTATIONS
MINTEC enhances tap water with beneficial minerals, providing pleasant-tasting, perfectly mineralized drinking water directly from your tap. Simultaneously, an integrated filter removes contaminants and unpleasant odors from the water.
SUSTAINABILITY
With MINTEC, it is no longer necessary to buy – or transport – water bottles. This conserves resources, saves energy, and reduces waste. A single MINTEC cartridge can replace several thousand plastic bottles and can even be recycled once empty.
ONLY A SUSTAINABLE CONCEPT
CAN BRING SUSTAINED ENJOYMENT.

CERTIFIED SUSTAINABILITY: BIO-BASED PLASTICS
SUNFLOWERS INSTEAD OF PETROLEUM:
AN OBVIOUS CHOICE FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE.
Because they are produced from plant-based raw materials, bio-based plastics have the potential to be carbon-neutral.
Bio-based plastics may be used without restrictions in the food and medical sectors.
Choosing to use bio-based plastics contributes significantly to a reduced carbon footprint and conserves valuable fossil resources.
Our entire flow of goods is audited for International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) compliance. ACLARIS has been ISCC Plus certified since 2024.
ACLARIS filters made of bio-based plastics can be recycled as usual.
WE USE ONLY THE BEST MATERIALS.
OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
RECYCLING CONCEPT (CRADLE TO CRADLE)
REUSING MATERIALS
INSTEAD OF PRODUCING WASTE
Our water filters consist mainly of ion exchangers. They can be regenerated as often as needed, creating a true recycling loop.
Our packaging (e.g. cardboard packaging, folding boxes, and bags) is made exclusively of homogenous materials that can be easily separated and recycled.

IF YOU’RE SERIOUS ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY, YOU DON’T JUST TALK ABOUT IT – YOU LIVE IT.
OUR COMPANY
WE PRACTICE RESPONSIBILITY:
IN ALL AREAS OF OUR BUSINESS
We provide charging stations for electric cars and bicycles.
We use residual heat from our production processes to heat our new headquarters building in Rebstein and have a ventilation system equipped for heat recovery.
We develop and manufacture all of our products exclusively in Switzerland and have a very high degree of vertical integration.
All ACLARIS products bear the Swiss Made label, which is a mark of quality. This label also attests to our environmentally friendly business practices because Switzerland is one of the industrialized countries with the lowest COâ‚‚ emissions per person and per unit of GDP.
Our new headquarters building in Rebstein is made of wood and draws electricity from our own photovoltaic system.
