we are forging the path to end single-use plastic bottles.
Our mission is to inspire the world to #refillit. One PATH, one iconic bottle, all powered by the human spirit to do better. We’ve set our sights on breaking the beverage industry’s addiction to single-use plastic bottled water. With the impact every bottle makes, we’re playing a numbers game to the power of “one more” refill.
why aluminum
70%
Of the material used in aluminum cans is recycled into new products–almost double that of glass (34%) and plastic (40%)
1.3
Is the amount of waste that aluminum makes up, because of it’s one of the most recycled materials.

minimizing our impact
Refill it
The power of one refill means we’re protecting our planet from more pollution and have prevented 335 million bottles from entering our oceans and landfills.
Mindful of water miles
In our dedication to improving the footprint of bottled water, we've strategically placed bottling centers across the U.S.—from the West Coast to the Central region and the East Coast. This deliberate positioning significantly reduces carbon emissions tied to shipping, ensuring our water journeys shorter distances to reach you.
Purposeful packaging
We prioritize sustainable packaging materials, from our sleek aluminum bottles to highly recyclable cardboard cases: every aspect is thoughtfully designed to minimize our environmental impact.
