Downstream Shipping
We will open and run one additional warehouse (a facility in which we store our products) so that we ship our products more efficiently to the end consumer.
Upstream Shipping
We will set up and begin operations with another filling facility to produce our bottled water by Q4 2024. The new facility location will allow us to produce our product closer to our consumers and thus significantly reduce the shipping distances.
Downstream Shipping
We plan to reduce emissions from shipping to our wholesale customers by optimizing shipping through aggregating orders in a single shipment.

Downstream Shipping
We plan to reduce emissions from downstream shipping by opening at least 1 additional fulfillment warehouse closer to our end customers.
Supply Chain Energy Use
We plan to reduce emissions created during the manufacturing of our bottles and cans
Downstream Shipping
Reduce FTL & LTL emissions by opening additional warehouse(s) near high volume areas.
Downstream Shipping
Reduce FTL & LTL emissions by opening a CA production facility.
Operational Waste
Reduce company HQ waste by switching to reusable water bottles and water filters

03 Compensate
At Open Water, our goal has always been to provide the most sustainable bottled water option on the planet. Although no bottled water company will ever be as sustainable as simply drinking tap water, the reality is that millions of people still purchase water on-the-go, and millions of plastic bottles end up in oceans every day. At Open Water, we believe that a more pragmatic solution is needed to really curb plastic waste and that incremental improvements can have a huge impact in the aggregate. This is why we we the first water company to use aluminum bottles and cans, which are the most recycled beverage packaging in the world. While it is abundantly clear that our products offer the best end-of-life prospects out of any other option out there (including rPET and cartons), we wanted to do more. We believe that focusing on end-of-life impact is extremely important — after all, there's no way to undo the damage that a plastic bottle creates if it reaches the ocean — but we recognize that the manufacturing and transportation of our products has a big impact too. We realized that, if we wanted to offer a truly sustainable product, we had to address these emissions too. Becoming Climate Neutral allows us to offer a solution that is better not just after you are done using it, but every step of the way.
