Ball Corporation, a leading global supplier of infinitely recyclable aluminum beverage containers, and Boomerang Water LLC, a leader in sustainable water bottling technology, announced a partnership to provide consumers with a sustainable way to stay hydrated. This will provide customers with on-site refillable bottled water solutions.
Specifically, Ball will provide its aluminum bottles at resorts, cruise ships, campuses, as well as other locations. The American multinational packaging company will provide its aluminum bottles for the Boomerang Bottling System, a cutting-edge technology that offers the convenience of bottled water in a sustainable package while limiting environmental impact. Boomerang’s bottling system washes, rinses, filters, fills and caps fresh water in refillable, returnable and recyclable Ball aluminum bottles, eliminating the waste and carbon emissions produced by the manufacture and transportation of traditional disposable bottles.
Boomerang Water co-founder Jason Dibble noted: “Boomerang offers industry-leading innovation with its bottling system that can wash, fill and cap more than 3,000 bottles of fresh, premium water per eight-hour shift. The whole idea and concept is the reuse and circularity of aluminum bottles combined with a Boomerang system. Ball’s aluminum bottles are the perfect complement to our Boomerang bottling system, as they can be reused over and over again and ultimately easily recycled at the end of their useful life.”
For his part, Jay Billings, president of Ball Aerosol Packaging, added that “At Ball, our ambition is to never stop leveraging our years of beverage packaging expertise to deliver new, innovative and sustainable solutions for our customers. Our goal is to be a strategic supplier to innovators, like Boomerang, who are finding new ways to provide consumers and businesses with sustainable choices and make a difference for the planet. We look forward to sharing more about the impact of our partnership.”
The partnership between Ball and Boomerang Water comes at a time when sustainability is more important than ever to consumers, who are increasingly looking to the brands they love to provide them with the opportunity to buy and use products that are good for the planet. In fact, the research finds that 85% of consumers have become more sustainable in their purchases in recent years.
Precisely to verify its effectiveness, Boomerang Water’s new technology was successfully launched and implemented at the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai, where Ball’s aluminum water bottles are widely available throughout the resort. The system is an ideal solution for locations where recovery of used bottles can be easy, including resorts, cruise ships, convention centers, corporate and university campuses, military and government bases, and industrial and manufacturing facilities.
