Our take
Americans buy billions of water bottles per year, the manufacture of which uses millions of barrels of crude oil. This alone causes significant damage to the environment, before even considering the carbon impact of delivery or the plastic waste produced. Bevi hopes to change this with its smart beverage-dispensing machine that only requires a tap water source to function.
Bevi’s dispensers allow users to customise their drinks, check nutrition information and track the environmental impact of their usage. With the ability to carbonate beverages as well as flavour them with natural essences, and even some caffeine and electrolytes if one wishes, Bevi has created a versatile hydration system that caters to the modern consumer on both eco-conscious and personal taste levels.
This simple and effective hydration system has become popular across industries. Over 4000 companies, including Volkswagen, Netflix and Google, make use of Bevi machines. The company, though having to fight through some self-admittedly "frightening" times, has raised significant funding that will support its rapid growth and expansion into new verticals and products.
