OUR STORY

Always Plastic-Free

beWater™ was originally designed as a sustainable replacement for complimentary, in-room water at hotels and resorts.

Aluminum cans are the most preferred packaging material globally to glass, PET, or carton and, while most global brands, like Dasani, Aquafina, and local brands, like Alba, La Vie, and Vikoda, have introduced some aluminum canned water, the majority of their portfolios are glass or PET and they remain the worst polluters in the world.

Taking a real circularity approach as not just about a product, an entire brand. When we say we are a sustainable brand, we mean it.

beWater™ is the only water brand in SE Asia designed to always be plastic-free.

The 'Lightbulb' Moment

Craft, community, and collaboration are at the core of our environmental, sustainability, and governance (ESG) ethos and when our partner, Ball Corporation, asked if we could find a way to support their efforts in tackling the massive single-use plastic waste problem in Vietnam and the region we leapt at the opportunity.

Partnering With The World's Largest Can Manufacturer

Already pioneers in bringing craft beer to the Vietnamese market in aluminum cans, we worked with our strategic partner Ball Corporation to develop and launch beWater Pure Still in less than six months at the world-famous Epizode Music Festival on Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam.

“Together with beWater™, Ball Corporation wants to promote can recycling and has installed on-site can collection stations at all beWater™ locations. This way we offer our hospitality and F&B partners a way to raise awareness of sustainable packaging solutions that help resolve the plastic waste problem.”

-Wannaros Tantranont, Regional Sustainability Director at Ball Corporation

A Regional Recycling Network

With partners from private industry, government, and NGO's we built strong relationships with some of the world's biggest companies and, more importantly, small and medium-sized local business that have become an incredibly reliable, resourceful, and resilient network of collaborators who are capable of turning the myriad challenges we face as a startup into chances.

beWater is not only the most environmentally-friendly, socially sustainable, and cost-effective packaged water, but is the only one that provides a way to collect and recycle beWater and any other aluminum cans from our wholesale customers with a simple click of a button.

Collaborating With National Leaders, Global Industry Titans, And ‘Mom & Pop’ Entrepreneurs To Collectively Eliminate Single-Use Plastic

Our passion for planet, people, and pursuing the goal of eliminating single-use plastics in Vietnam by 2025 has never been stronger and we are inspired by the massive support from individuals to industry and government to achieve this goal.

Today, we work with the world's largest hotel groups to replace in-room complimentary plastic-bottled water, including InterContinental Hotel Group, Accor Hotel Group, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, Meliá Hotel Group, Marriott International, Sailing Club Leisure Group across an ever increasing number of their properties.

We work with restaurants, bars, and nightclubs from individual outlets to nationwide chains to bring beWater™ to customers.

We continue to build coalitions with private, public, and NGO groups to develop sustainable initiatives that deliver lasting positive impact on our environment from beach cleanups in Vung Tau to developing better scrap recycling systems with students from Fulbright University Vietnam and other educational institutions.
