Travel Smarter. Drink Better.
You’re holding a can of filtered seawater, served while boarding or on board a KLM flight.
Not just a refreshing drink, but part of a bigger shift in how we think about travel.
Together with KLM, we’re exploring what it means to travel smart. As part of the Aviation Challenge, SEA Water is being introduced on select flights to explore new, scalable sustainability solutions. We locally filter seawater into a renewable source of drinking water, packaged in endlessly recyclable cans. With this collaboration, we bring innovation, responsibility, and refreshment together.
"In a world where freshwater is becoming scarce and plastic waste is piling up, we believe this is the future. Clean water, closer to where it’s needed, with a smaller footprint, and no unnecessary plastic. This is just the beginning."
FAQ
What is SEA Water?
SEA Water is an innovative, impact-driven Dutch water brand, specialised in high-quality water solutions, powered by renewable energy.
What is your mission?
Changing perception and shifting the narrative around desalination. With SEA Water, Dutch founders and brothers Tammo and Jort give shape to their personal mission to be part of a solution to global water scarcity. More specifically: showing the world that the ocean could be part of this solution.
Why should we drink SEA Water?
Almost four billion people worldwide experience severe water shortages for parts of the year while 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered in water. Seawater that is. What if there was a way of turning this water into clean, fresh drinking water? That is exactly what we do, using only renewable energy.
Is this the solution for water scarcity?
No – but we believe it’s a part of the solution. SEA Water isn’t just about selling canned water. It’s about shifting perspectives, starting conversations, and raising awareness around how we use and value water. Our mission is to spark change, share knowledge on the global water crisis, and make a lasting impact. You can see our cans as conversation starters and dive deeper into how we believe we #CanChange.
Does SEA Water taste salty?
Nothing salty here. The name SEA Water refers to the source where we get our water: the oceans! The salt is removed, and what’s left is clean, crisp drinking water — just like you’d expect from any premium water brand. Only difference is that ours comes from the sea.
So, how does that work, desalination powered by renewables?
We’re working with a very energy efficient, solar-powered, reverse osmosis technology to filter the salt and other unwanted stuff out of seawater. This basically means we efficiently press seawater through a filter, powered only by the sun and wind.
Why choose aluminium cans above plastic bottles?
Aluminium is endlessly recyclable, unlike plastic. In fact, plastic degrades each time it’s reused and can only be recycled a couple of times before it ends up in landfills or worse, the ocean. Meanwhile, 75% of all aluminium ever made is still in circulation. That means it is very likely that your SEA Water can have lived many past lives, as another can or something entirely different. Plus, cans are lightweight, space-efficient, and keep your water perfectly chilled. And let’s be honest, they look cooler too.
