Joining the movement to reduce single-use plastic, beWater cans are made from 
infinitely recyclable aluminum, making them the most cost-effective and 
sustainable option compared to glass, cartons and single-use plastic.

A convenient alternative to plastic and glass bottled water used in hotels, 
food & beverage outlets, and at outdoor festivals, beWater is manufactured in 
Vietnam using advanced reverse osmosis and UV light treatment for purification. 
The water is then enhanced with natural minerals for a fresh and clean taste.

Winking Seal Beer Co. has signed agreements with leading international hotel 
groups and F&B outlets to help phase out plastic bottles and reduce overall 
environmental footprint. Immediate plans include launching an international 
distribution presence.

Mark Nerney, Winking Seal Beer Co.'s Co-founder and General Director, comments 
on the partnership, "We are extremely proud to announce our partnership with 
TBC-Ball, who share our vision to make water better, environmentally friendly 
and convenient to enjoy. Alongside our launch partner Sailing Club Leisure 
Group, they were instrumental in making beWater an instant success."

"With aluminum packaging we take a life cycle view of the entire product 
journey," explains Bjoern Kulmann, Sustainability Director at Ball Corporation. 
"Aluminum is monomaterial and can be easily sorted and reused an infinite 
number of times without losing quality. Aluminum, as permanent material retains 
its value throughout the recycling process, meaning that it can be kept in 
circulation indefinitely without becoming waste and ending up in the ocean or 
in landfills."

"Together with Winking Seal Beer Co., Ball wants to promote can recycling and 
has installed on-site can collection stations at all beWater locations," adds 
Wannaros Tantranont, Regional Sustainability Director at Ball Asia Pacific 
Limited. "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."
