Bevi’s 2025 Environmental Impact Report

April 9, 2025.

Key takeaways

• By replacing single-use bottles and cans with an integrated beverage platform, businesses can reduce their hydration-related emissions—while also gleaning additional benefits, including space utilization data and beverage consumption trends.

• To prove it down to a data point, we ran a life cycle assessment (LCA) of our flagship machine model, the Standup 2.0. Read on to learn how, with Bevi, you can have your beverage and drink it, too. Download our 2025 Environmental Impact Report.

Reducing plastic pollution for a healthier planet

Bevi was founded in 2013 after co-founder Eliza Becton decided to do something about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, an accumulation of 1.8 trillion pieces of trash, mostly plastic, floating in the North Pacific Ocean.

She was inspired to find an alternative to all of the plastic waste making its way into the ocean every year. In 2013, she teamed up with Sean Grundy and Frank Lee to create Bevi. Together, the team was focused on fusing hardware, software, and design with a product that could solve a major part of the plastic pollution problem: single-use plastic bottles.

They invented the Smart Water Cooler® category of product as a result. These countertop and standup beverage dispensers pour still, sparkling, flavored, and enhanced water on-demand and use IoT-driven telemetry for tracking consumption and planning for maintenance.

Offsetting the need for one billion single-use bottles

As of December 2025, Bevi’s Smart Water Cooler® machines have officially eliminated the need for one billion single-use plastic bottles.

That is one billion fewer bottles manufactured, transported, and discarded. Filling a reusable bottle might feel like a small, inconspicuous act, but when multiplied by hundreds of thousands of people, it changes the world. When you choose to hydrate happy with Bevi, you are a part of a positive impact rather than a wasteful action.

Where Bevi can help your business reduce its plastic problem

For organizations committed to achieving net-zero targets, every facet of the corporate footprint requires scrutiny—including the high-volume waste generated by traditional beverage supply chains. 

Bevi’s Smart Water Cooler® is engineered to meet this challenge, transforming daily hydration from a logistical burden into a measurable driver of greenhouse gas reductions.
