“Bluewater’s role as water partner underlines a mutual belief: great coffee starts with great ingredients, and water is at the heart of it.” says Niklas Ivarsson
"At Bluewater, we have focused on water quality and its relevance to human health and wellness from the get-go", says Bluewater communications chief Dave Noble. He notes that the company was founded in 2013 by Swedish ecopreneur Bengt Rittri, with a simple belief: people deserve to know what’s in their drinking water.
An American study found that if not addressed, dehydration in older adults is linked to dramatically worse health outcomes, longer hospital stays, and higher readmission rates.

“Forever chemicals don’t belong in a baby’s first sip of tap water,” Niklas Ivarsson said.
“Safe water is the foundation of health, productivity and resilience,” Bengt Rittri said.
“Safe water is essential for health, resilience, and daily life ... But while governments work to improve systems, people also need practical, smarter tools to protect themselves now, whether at home, at work, or anywhere else."

“As the wellness economy continues to expand, Bluewater’s planet-friendly hydration technology offers gyms, spas, and hospitality venues a cost-efficient way to reduce plastic waste and elevate the customer experience.”
“The BBC-spotlighted findings confirm that even in countries with advanced water systems from Europe to North America, safety can no longer be taken for granted”, Bengt Rittri said.
“By reducing single-use plastics, recycling responsibly, supporting clean water innovations, and choosing refills over bottled water, we can slow the damage and begin to repair what’s been lost... If even the rain isn’t clean anymore, then the work of healing our planet begins closer than we think — in our homes, in our habits, and at the tap.”
