BE WTR is expanding into the UK with a state-of-the-art bottling plant in London this April.
The sustainable water brand already has locations across the world and is continuing its international
expansion throughout 2025 with the recent closing of its funding round.
BE WTR's new London site will serve freshly filtered bottled water within a 10 mile radius to London’s hospitality sector, offering a sustainable alternative to single use plastics.
Since its creation in 2020, the company has already reduced carbon emissions by 16000 tonnes and has saved the use of 75 million plastic bottles worldwide. The London plant is estimated to save a further 4.5 million plastic bottles a year.
Mike Hecker, CEO of BE WTR, said: “Expanding into the UK is a natural progression for BE WTR as we continue to transform the way businesses and consumers think about water. London’s dynamic hospitality industry and commitment to sustainability make it the perfect location for our next launch."
"With the opening of our new bottle plant and the introduction of AQTiV and AQTiV+, we are excited to provide a local, innovative and environmentally responsible alternative to bottled water. By producing water locally and reducing carbon emissions used via transport, we are taking another step toward a fully circular, sustainable water system.”
In addition to the new bottling plant, BE WTR's AQTiV range of water system and carafes will be available to hotels, restaurants and corporate spaces around the capital, also lowering environmental impact while supplying still and sparkling drinking water.
