BE WTR: Zermatt’s sustainable water
Culture
It’s tap water, but better: without residual micropollutants and without any traces of bacteria. Founded in Lausanne in 2020, BE WTR uses ultrafiltration technology to guarantee clients “fresh filtered water with a local taste.” In partnership with Zermatt Matterhorn Brauerei AG, BE WTR is installing a bottling plant that’s connected to the Zermatt drinking water network. The service will distribute still or sparkling water in reusable (and returnable) bottles of 50 or 75 cl., to hotels and restaurants in Zermatt. The company also participates in 1% for the planet, giving at least 1% of annual sales to environmental organizations that support water-related projects — proof of an eco-friendly philosophy at the very core of everything they do.
