We’re Kadeya—the future of hydration featuring high quality drinks with low environmental impact that help everyone thrive. Since we’re all just very literally bodies of water, being dehydrated by 4% of your body mass can reduce your response time by nearly 25%. So whether you’re at a building site or in the boardroom, staying hydrated makes you feel better and perform better too. To help you do just that, we’re proud to operate the only network of low waste vending stations serving a selection of purified water, carbonated, flavored, and branded drinks in infinite bottles that could never end up in landfill. We’ve created bottled water for the future, making it ... Safer: To lower the carbon output, we source water locally instead of shipping it, and purify it with an advanced filtration process. Our water quality beats market standards—and we like to keep things transparent by sharing that data with you. Healthier: Along with clean water, we then create flavored and carbonated drinks free from microplastics, because our infinite bottles are made from glass or stainless steel. You can also optimize your hydration with the Kadeya app, to make sure you’re always at your best. By rethinking the bottled water supply chain entirely, we’ve created a circular system that makes a positive impact for both you and the planet with every sip, gulp and swig.
