Problem
Single-use plastic water bottles contribute significantly to landfill waste and waterway pollution. Businesses seeking to reduce their environmental impact lack convenient and effective solutions for providing sustainable bottled water options.
Solution
Boomerang provides on-site water bottling systems that eliminate the need for single-use plastic bottles. The system utilizes a semi-automated process to sanitize and refill reusable aluminum or glass bottles with ultra-filtered, locally sourced water. Businesses load the bottles into the system, which then washes, sanitizes, and refills them at a rate of up to 400 bottles per hour. The refilled bottles can then be distributed through existing channels, and empty bottles are returned via customizable return bins, creating a closed-loop system with return rates exceeding 90%. This approach enables businesses to meet ESG goals, reduce their carbon footprint, and offer a sustainable hydration solution.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes businesses in the hospitality, industrial, manufacturing, and event sectors, such as hotels, convention centers, cruise lines, and corporate offices, seeking to reduce plastic waste and enhance sustainability.
