Stop Planet Plastic - BE THE CHANGE.

Switch to local mineralized water and enjoy it directly from the tap, a table water filter, or a water dispenser. A simple choice that makes a real difference for the environment.

Let's say "NO" to single-use plastic bottles

Our Planet Blue is awash with plastic waste: no wonder, as plastic is readily available, robust, temperature-resistant, unbreakable and can be moulded into any shape. Many disposable items are produced alongside reusable plastic items, especially single-use plastic bottles, which are thrown away after use. The volume of plastic waste has been growing worldwide for years and now threatens to suffocate our planet. Here are some facts:

Time to change

For many years, we have seen the plastic waste mountain on earth grow rapidly. This poses a massive threat to us and our fragile ecosystems.

With our initiative "Change the World - sip by sip" we have launched an appeal: Let's change something! Every day, sip by sip.

Healthy, clean water for all

BWT has set itself the goal of providing local tap water in the best drinking water quality all over the world.

We want to ensure that our Planet Blue remains livable for future generations. We have it in our own hands: 1.2 million plastic bottles produced every minute worldwide must be reduced to a minimum. We have to take responsibility for this!

Sustainability, social responsibility and the conscious use of limited resources is an elementary part of our DNA. That’s what our Vision "Change the World – sip by sip" stands for.

Be the change

It is easy to contribute, without compromise, and can be implemented at home as well as in restaurants, hotels and in workplaces. Our initiative aims to avoid disposable bottles and thus reduce mountains of plastic waste.

Thanks to our innovative, patented technologies, local tap water – regardless of quality – is filtered, treated and enriched with valuable minerals and trace elements such as magnesium, zinc or silicates. Because BWT has set itself the task of making water better. So fresh, tasty water comes directly from the tap. We act in the interests of our environment, because no disposable plastic bottles must be bought and disposed of. There is also no need for strenuous hauling or storing water bottles.

Change the World, Sip by Sip, Events

We are happy to support events that rely on environmentally friendly solutions.

As the official Water-Partner of the Salzburg Festival, for example, we supply artists, employees and guests with BWT magnesium mineralized water from our BWT Water Power dispensers. This gives us the opportunity to convey our message in an eye-catching way.

If you want to leave a lasting impression on your guests with your event, we are happy to help you.

You never drink alone – b.WaterMISSION

BWT has always been committed to helping people in need. Social responsibility is not a buzzword for us, but a corporate culture that has been lived for a long time. That is why we support people in Africa who do not have access to clean drinking water with the b.WaterMission project.

As part of the b.WaterMISSION project, a total of 10,000 wells are being constructed in Africa and surrounding areas with the help of BWT to give local people access to clean drinking water. One example to address our BWT vision, “change the world, sip by sip”.

BWT Alpine F1 Team - Full Speed for Change

BWT is setting more and more pink highlights in sports. The French Formula 1 Team BWT Alpine F1 is the latest addition to the sporty BWT family.

The unique PINK BWT branding will be used to carry the joint visionary campaign "Change the World – sip by sip" and the associated social responsibility beyond the racetracks into the world. BWT Climate Bottles instead of single-​use plastic bottles throughout the paddock are just the first steps, which will be followed by many more committed steps.

Joining forces to convince as many people around the world as possible, our employees, partners, customers and fans to reduce plastic waste and fight together against the unfair distribution of clean, safe and healthy drinking water is the declared goal of the BWT Alpine F1 Team.
