Partners & origins.

Responsibility, transparency and quality at aboutwater.

aboutwater works with carefully selected partners to create durable water bottles and sustainable solutions with clear quality standards. Transparent, responsible processes and fair cooperation along the entire value chain are at the heart of everything we do.
Recyclable

Material

Sustainable

& premium quality

We exclusively use tested, durable materials such as Tritan™, glass, or stainless steel – robust, reusable and BPA-free.

Production

Our bottles are produced in certified facilities in Europe and Asia under fair conditions and to modern environmental standards.

Quality

We work with independent testing bodies such as SGS and use established sustainability ratings like EcoVadis – for transparency and reliable standards.

Printing

In our in-house print shop, we customise every bottle using digital printing. For screen printing or laser engraving, we partner with specialists.

Shipping

Packaged sustainably and shipped efficiently – our logistics team ensures smooth operations and reliable processes.

Places, people and partnerships.

Whether in Austria, locally here in Bavaria, or during production in China: we know the people we work with – and maintain close, collaborative relationships.

Sustainable supply chain

For example, Bryan and Bella have been supporting us in the manufacture of our glass bottles for many years. They ensure that our high quality and environmental standards are maintained during production as well.

When manufacturing the stainless steel bottles, we work closely with Jenny, who uses her extensive experience and personal dedication to help us develop new sustainable solutions and continuously optimise existing processes.

Direct contact with people on the ground builds a genuine foundation of trust – and that makes all the difference.

Sustainability, quality and control – implemented together.

Ecovadis

Ecovadis Bronze Top 35% Sustainability Rating

Sustainability made measurable

We use the internationally recognised sustainability rating from EcoVadis to regularly assess our business practices in the areas of environment, ethics, labour and human rights, and sustainable procurement.

In 2026, aboutwater received the EcoVadis Bronze Medal, placing us among the top 35% of companies evaluated worldwide by EcoVadis. We performed particularly strongly in the areas of Environment – Top 29% and Sustainable Procurement – Top 25%.
The result: Transparency for the outside world – and a clear benchmark for our continuous development.

Safety through testing

We work with the renowned SGS Institut Fresenius to have our materials and products comprehensively tested for quality, food safety and freedom from harmful substances.
This is how we ensure that our products meet the highest standards – for our customers and the environment.

SGS Fresenius

Take-e-way

Legal certainty regarding environmental laws

Take-e-way acts as a reliable partner, supporting us in the legally compliant implementation of all relevant environmental regulations – such as the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG), the Packaging Act (VerpackG) or international take-back obligations.
This means we take responsibility – not just ecologically, but legally too.

KNOWLEDGE DRIVES IMPACT

Our team regularly takes part in further training via the Haufe Akademie – focusing in particular on sustainability, leadership, and personal development.
Continuous development is firmly anchored at aboutwater: Every team member is required to take part in further training and benefits from a comprehensive, steadily growing training catalogue.
Because anyone who wants to shape the future needs not only a clear stance – but also up-to-date knowledge and diverse perspectives.
