In Denmark, we support Race for Oceans which aims to shine a light on Life Below Water (UN Sustainable Goal #14) including the growing plastic pollution. The project creates a greater synergy between sports, beach clean-ups, and knowledge. For example, In 2019 the first Race for Oceans relay became a reality – covering 456 k along the coast during a 10-day sports event.
Welcome to local tap water with a difference. Forget the plastic and water shipped in from the end of the world. Water that’s kind on the planet and big on pleasure. Water with meaning, water with style. Water that changes the world drop by drop, with financial support poured into environmental protection.
Water as unique as you are.
In Sweden, we collaborate with the fantastic Initiativ Utö, which restores the marine environment in the Baltic Sea.
In Switzerland, the project “Rivière de Biodiversité” by One Nature Foundation restores a local river in Lully, so Nature can regain its rights over man.
BE WTR is about better hydration, innovative solutions while protecting the planet for future generations.

Founder
“I believe it’s on us to be the change we want to see in the world. Cutting back on single- use plastic is the smallest biggest change people can start making. And if you’re getting 100% pure, great-tasting water back in return, then what’s not to love?”
“I’m a mountain guy at heart, and seeing the devastating effects of climate change first-hand really hit home. I’m proud to be part of a game-changing brand that’s as much a way of life as it is a product.”
