FloWater recently announced the milestone achievement of saving one billion plastic water bottles from entering the environment since its launch in 2013. This explosive growth has been fuelled by consumer demand for safe, better-tasting drinking water without the plastic waste.

Partnering with FloWater, 12,000 schools, hotels, fitness centres, and workplaces across the country have now transformed their tap water with FloWater Refill Stations into ultra-purified water, without the plastic, that eliminates up to 99.9% of all impurities including PFAS (forever chemicals), glyphosates, heavy metals, like lead and Chromium 6, and microplastics. FloWater's Advanced Purification Refill Stations, with 7-stage Advanced Osmosis purification technology, also enhances the water with added alkalinity and electrolytes and trace minerals for better hydration. A carbon coconut filter 'finishes' the chilled water for a great taste.

The Billion Bottles Saved milestone represents the cumulative number of single-use plastic water bottles saved from the environment with FloWater Refill Stations in the hospitality and fitness industries, at schools and events, and where consumers work and shop.

FloWater CEO and Co-Founder, Rich Razgaitis, said: We are incredibly proud to celebrate the Billion Bottles Saved milestone. We also thank and celebrate our thousands of business and school partners, and the millions of consumers across the country who have made this milestone possible. They are leading the change in their industries with the FloWater experience, bringing their customers the best-tasting, ultra-purified water on the planet, while eliminating plastic waste and the threats of dangerous contaminants.

Business and school leaders across the country weighed in as part of the Billion Bottles Saved celebration.

In Flower Mound, Texas, Shine Fitness CEO, Julie Costly, said: Our guests love FloWater. With its Advanced Purification, alkalization, and added electrolytes, it's better hydrating and fits right into our health and wellness experience. Our students fill their water bottles on the way out, every time. There is no better-tasting water than FloWater!

Razgaitis added that celebrating the Billion Bottles Saved achievement is meant to rally consumers and business around saving the next billion. Plans are underway for a holiday awareness campaign called 'FloWater, Always Unwrapped', highlighting the environmental damage caused by the 'wrapped' (in plastic) water and soda distributed by the beverage industry. The campaign is designed to inspire consumers and business to make a better choice.
