BE WTR sets a new standard for the best water in the UAE | News
After more than three years on the international stage as the most premium and sustainable water brand, powered by patented Swiss technology, BE WTR is now firmly establishing itself as the UAE’s leading choice. Bottled locally in glass and designed with a clear focus on quality and responsibility, it delivers exceptional taste, optimal hydration and a more sustainable alternative, all without the carbon impact of long-distance transport, making it the best for both people and the planet.
With two new bottling plants in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the brand continues to grow its nationwide presence, working closely with leading hospitality names while bringing its circular bottled water model to more tables and homes across the country. BE WTR’s vision reflects a broader shift in the UAE towards a more conscious and responsible water culture, where innovation, sustainability and long-term impact become part of everyday choices.
Inspired by founder and CEO Mike Hecker, BE WTR was created with the simple belief that better hydration should not come at the expense of the planet, rethinking the way water is produced, served and experienced. Unlike imported “mineral” or so-called “purified” water, BE WTR is bottled close to the communities it serves, using advanced filtration to remove impurities while retaining essential minerals. This approach improves both freshness and quality, while significantly reducing the environmental impact of traditional long-distance supply chains.
Mike Hecker, CEO and Founder of BE WTR, said: “At BE WTR we have always believed in trust and local sourcing, allowing us to provide people with water that is filtered to the highest standard, tastes exceptional and supports the communities it serves. The UAE reflects the same values, shaped by a strong sense of unity and a growing awareness of how what we consume impacts both our health and the world around us. As a market that embraces innovation and expects uncompromising quality, it is the natural home for a more thoughtful way to experience water.”
The best in the UAE, bottled locally
Bottled locally in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, BE WTR reinterprets how water reaches hotels, dining tables and homes by eliminating the need for long, complex import supply chains. The advanced bottling approach ensures that each stage meets HACCP, ESMA and strict hygiene requirements, consistently delivering high quality still and sparkling water that is fresh and ready to serve. As a certified B Corp, BE WTR maintains the highest standards of environmental and social sustainability and operates in a global, collaborative culture that celebrates diversity, respect and transparent decision-making.
Raising tables in the UAE
Across the UAE, BE WTR’s iconic reusable bottles are redefining the way water is presented and experienced, transforming a simple pour into something more thoughtful and expressive. Designed as a premium alternative to single-use plastic or single-use glass, each sealed BE WTR bottle delivers fresh, locally sourced water with an emphasis on taste, hygiene, style and sustainability.
Each bottle is made from high-quality extra flint glass, produced in the UAE, and is designed for durability, with a life cycle of 300 uses, while custom-made, sealed aluminum caps ensure safety and freshness. Already trusted by leading hospitality brands and restaurants, BE WTR has become a natural part of the dining and guest experience, with each beautifully presented bottle taking center stage on the table, delivering clear, balanced water that you can be proud to serve to guests.
Filtered, not ‘purified’
Rooted in nature and backed by science, BE WTR’s approach to filtration is what truly sets the company apart. Instead of removing water or relying on distant natural sources, the brand refines it through Swiss-patented AQTiV filtration technology, inspired by the natural movement and life cycle of water itself and using specially developed activated carbon technology.
Better for people and planet
In addition to the fresh, smooth taste that mimics natural spring water, BE WTR places wellness at the heart of daily hydration. The powerful AQTiV filtration, made with activated carbon, removes chlorine, odors and organic impurities such as rust and sand, while filtering 99.999% of bacteria and a significant portion of microplastics, resulting in clean, balanced water that supports overall vitality.
Behind every bottle is a deep appreciation for water as one of our most precious resources, and a conscious effort to tread lighter on the planet. By moving away from single-use plastic or single-use glass and embracing reusable formats designed for hundreds of applications, in addition to local manufacturing that eliminates the need for long-distance transportation, BE WTR is creating a system built for a better future.
With its continued growth in the UAE, BE WTR is shaping a new rhythm for the way water is experienced, led by local production, thoughtful design and a deeper respect for the resource itself. As expectations in the hospitality and residential industries evolve, it offers a way to bring together quality, responsibility and a sense of occasion with every watering. With a clear focus on becoming the UAE’s premier choice for F&B and home delivery, BE WTR continues to build a more conscious water culture where every glass reflects a smarter, more thoughtful future.
