Water shouldn’t travel far to end up at your table! BE WTR, the premium, sustainable water brand trusted by the world’s top chefs and hotels, earlier this year launched a state-of-the-art bottling operation in Singapore. This marked the debut of Singapore’s first locally bottled, premium still and sparkling water, crafted for fine dining, luxury hospitality, and conscious consumers.
Now the brand is proudly hydrating IMM 2025, introducing a new standard in water taste, design, and environmental responsibility.
Water That Elevates Taste—and Lowers Impact
BE WTR is here to put an end to the more than 1 million single use bottles sold per minute world-wide. Always locally sourced from the tap water, enhanced through Swiss-engineered filtration and technology, BE WTR offers an exceptionally smooth taste—ideal for food pairing and refined service. This is water reinvented, without global transport or unnecessary waste. Each bottle is a design statement: minimalist, elegant, and reusable more than to 300 times. It’s water designed to be savoured, not just served. BE WTR, launched in 2021, is growing fast and today available at top hotels and restaurants in Switzerland, France, UK, UAE, Singapore, Canada and China.
Crafted for the World’s Most Refined Tables – no matter where they are
From in-room service to white linen dining, BE WTR’s bottles integrate into luxury environments, no matter the location. Still and sparkling water, available in 300ml, 500ml and 750ml formats, offer a premium aesthetic while replacing single-use imports. Empty BE WTR Bottles are collected, sanitized, and rebottled up to 300 times ensuring quality, safety, and sustainability.
Technology That Scales Taste and Sustainability
At the heart of this innovation is the innovative BiG400, BE WTR’s fully automated, circular glass bottling machine. The robotic, closed-loop facility combines BE WTR Swiss filtration technology, washing, sanitising, filling, and capping into one seamless, hygienic bottling process. It enables great tasting still and sparkling water with an annual production of 2.5 million bottles—equivalent to removing 2.5 million single-use plastics or imported glass from circulation each year. With reusable bottles that last up to 300 cycles, the BiG400 bottling line delivers sustainability at scale. Bottles are distributed and retrieved within a hyper-localized 10-kilometre radius (if not directly onsite) via electric vehicles, completing a smart, low-impact delivery loop.
A Local Solution with Global Impact
In a city like Singapore, where over 87% of glass waste goes unrecycled and most bottled water is imported, BE WTR brings vital disruption. By producing locally and eliminating single-use plastics and glass, BE WTR reduces carbon emissions by over 60% and packaging waste by up to 95% compared to conventional bottled water. Each bottle embodies the 3Rs—reduce, reuse, recycle— thus helping hotels and restaurants to become more sustainable, without taking away from the premium experience.
Avid travellers drink BE WTR at Emirate’s Palace in Abu Dhabi, at the Bristol in Paris, the slopes of Zermatt or at Waldorf Astoria in Beijing. In Singapore the guests of, among many others, Raffles Hotel, The Standard, The Laurus, Zén, Cloudstreet and Saint Pierre can enjoy still, sparkling and splendid BE WTR.
A win for everyone
BE WTR bottled water is procuring a smooth and silky taste with balanced minerals. The filtration process retains the good minerals present in the local water and eliminates any potential pollutants, including hormones, forever chemicals and any last mile pollutants. In every market BE WTR collaborates with leading hotels, restaurants, and upscale venues to implement a closed-loop bottling model, without compromising aesthetics, hygiene or freshness. This not only enhances the image but also reduces costs and operational complexity; a win for partners, patrons, and the planet.
Proudly Certified, Passionately Local
As a certified B Corp and member of 1% for the Planet, BE WTR backs every drop with rigorous sustainability and social responsibility standards. In Singapore, the company partners with Seven Clean Seas to tackle marine pollution through direct action and local job creation. In other markets BE WTR collaborates with local, grassroot organisations engaged in important water related issues.
