Among the many excellent bottled waters vying for consumer attention—brands like Acqua Panna, San Pellegrino, Penta, and VOSS—only one combines sleek, infinitely recyclable aluminum packaging with a mission as impactful as its name: CannedWater4Kids (CW4K), The Beverage of Human Kindness® (US Patent & Trademark Office Reg. Number 6,958,013).

Unlike its competitors, 95% of the funds collected by CW4K from the sale of its canned water in aluminum bottles or cans help support, fund, and deliver life-saving sustainable water projects. These efforts bring safe drinking water to children in need worldwide, embodying the nonprofit’s mission to make clean water accessible for all.

A Mission Built on Impact

Since its inception, CW4K has made measurable strides in solving the global water crisis:

• +950,000 children: Healthier, happier lives thanks to clean, safe water.
• 5 million cans: Safe drinking water distributed for emergency disaster relief.
• 40 sustainable wells & water systems: Delivered to water-insecure communities worldwide.
• 5 million: Number of plastic bottles displaced by infinitely recyclable aluminum packaging.

Why Aluminum? CW4K’s Commitment to Sustainability

CW4K’s choice of aluminum over plastic is rooted in its environmental benefits and consumer appeal:

• 100% Recyclable: Aluminum can be infinitely recycled without losing quality,
  unlike single-use plastic. Can recycling is quick and efficient returning new cans to store shelves in as little as sixty days.
• Durability & Freshness: The aluminum containers provide superior protection for water quality while reducing packaging waste.
• Eco-Friendly: CW4K’s aluminum packaging resonates with environmentally conscious consumers.

“Aluminum’s high recycling rate ensures that every CW4K bottle or can helps reduce waste and protect the environment, making every sip as kind to the planet as it is to the people it helps,” said Greg Stromberg, Founder & CEO of CW4K.

A New Standard for Socially Responsible Hydration

Water insecurity affects over 2 billion people globally, with children disproportionately at risk. By selling its canned water, securing donations, and building corporate partnerships, CW4k fund clean water projects that deliver lasting impact.

Whether helping hurricane victims in the U.S. or supporting remote villages internationally, CW4K prioritizes impactful, scalable solutions.

“With bottled water sales booming, CW4K represents a new chapter in socially responsible hydration—proving that doing good can start with something as simple as choosing the right drink,” added Stromberg.
