SUSTAINABILITY TAKES A GIANT LEAP FORWARD IN THE SA FILM INDUSTRY WITH BLUEWATER TRAILERS
Film Afrika, one of South Africa’s leading television and film production and servicing companies, is pioneering the move towards environmental sustainability by using Bluewater Trailers on the set of Raised By Wolves, TNT’s highly-anticipated serialised sci-fi series from master storyteller and filmmaker Ridley Scott (The Martian, Blade Runner, Alien: Covenant), which marks his television directorial debut. The series is currently in production in the Western Cape.
The Bluewater Trailers are keeping the 400-strong crew hydrated through the peak of the South African summer, and – since December – have already eliminated the use of almost 50 000 single-use plastic water bottles on set. Throughout the duration of the production it’s estimated that the Bluewater Trailers could reduce single-use plastic waste by up to 581 818 bottles, while significantly lowering the drinking water cost to the production company.

PLASTIC BOTTLES CAN’T BE THE ONLY REPLACEMENT FOR CONTAMINATED DRINKING WATER
The water contamination crisis in Flint, Michigan, began in 2014 and persists to this day–and for many, was a wake-up call to the degraded state of public water infrastructure in the United States. As many as 12,000 children were exposed to lead, which will contribute to health issues throughout their lives.

I turned on the faucet today and clean water spewed from the tap.
But not everyone has that luxury — especially 300 million Africans who rely on a series of filters and bottled goods to get clean water. More than a handful of companies have aimed to address the clean water supply on the second most-populated continent. One company, Blue, offers “Waterpods” that equip retail stores with a mini version of a water kiosk. Now their ‘wares are in over 100 stores across half a dozen countries.
MICROPLASTIC POLLUTION ‘NUMBER ONE THREAT’ TO HUMANKIND
Microplastic pollution may be having a profound impact on people’s hormones, affecting blood pressure, fertility, immune systems and causing multiple diseases including cancer.
The public has become more aware of the damage caused when plastic is dumped in the world’s oceans, especially when it breaks down into microplastic particles, and a new report called ‘The Global Plastic Calamity’, commissioned by sustainable water company Bluewater, highlights how these microplastics release thousands of hormone-disrupting chemicals.
