Pentair is the first partner in MSP’s new strategic partnership
program which aims to collaborate with businesses and community
organizations to enhance the passenger experience and drive
innovation. As the Official Water Sponsor of MSP, Pentair is
working to help the airport promote sustainability through the
installation of 10 HOPE Hydration HydroStations. The cutting-edge
HydroStations are the first water refill stations of their kind at
any airport worldwide, dispensing free, chilled, and filtered water
while providing an interactive experience to users. Through the
HydroStations, Pentair and MSP will be educating travelers about
water-related issues and the positive environmental impact they can
make by bringing and filling a reusable water bottle while
traveling.
Each of the HydroStations feature filtration technology by
Everpure from Pentair Water Solutions, providing MSP employees and
travelers with a free, great-tasting and more sustainable
alternative to single-use plastic water bottles.
“Pentair aims to create a better world for people and the planet
through smart, sustainable water solutions,” said Adrian Chiu, EVP
and President, Pentair Water Solutions. “Our Everpure filtration
technology is a leader in the foodservice industry, and we are
excited to bring our filtration expertise to MSP in support of
their efforts to reduce plastic waste and promote sustainable
practices by providing travelers with free, filtered water at the
HydroStations.”
It is estimated that the current network of 80 water bottle
refill stations at MSP reduce the need for approximately 600
pounds* of single-use plastic bottles every day. Using integrated
IoT technology, the HydroStations at MSP track real-time impact
data associated with the elimination of single-use plastics
including plastic and carbon emissions savings, which will be
displayed on each HydroStation.
“Our goal is to make it easy for passengers and our airport
community to choose reusable options over single-use options,” said
Brian Ryks, CEO of the MAC. “We’re excited about this strategic
partnership because it shines a brighter spotlight on ways to
reduce waste and support sustainable practices that go well beyond
the airport.”
“Our mission is to encourage people to Refill, not Landfill; we
are excited to showcase the HOPE HydroStation at MSP, one of the
world's leading sustainable airports, powered by Pentair's advanced
Everpure filtration technology. This is a major step for us
together towards building a more sustainable future everywhere,”
said Jorge Richardson, HOPE Hydration CEO and Founder. “As frequent
travelers, we understand the need for great hydration solutions in
airports, and we are thrilled to help travelers make a positive
environmental impact.”
