Over 1,00,000 litres of pure water to be produced daily.
To be supplied in reusable glass bottles, eliminating the need for single-use plastic bottles.
Leading atmospheric water generation company A1RWATER has announced the launch of a new state-of-the-art bottling facility in Dubai Industrial City (DIC), poised to produce over 1,00,000 litres of pure water daily, directly from the air.
The new DIC facility, set to be fully operational in Q4 2024, will house over 50 A1R3000 units, each producing 3,000 litres of water per day. This translates to roughly 1,20,000 litres of pure drinking water produced per day, which will be supplied in reusable glass bottles to hotels, schools, corporates offices, and more across the region, eliminating millions of plastic water bottles and helping companies to accelerate their ESG goals.
Setting a new benchmark for water sustainability
The landmark development expands the proven model piloted with Fairmont Bab Al Bahr, Abu Dhabi’s 5-star beach resort, and aligns with the UAE Water Security Strategy 2036, the UAE Circular Economy Policy, and the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 Strategy.
Generating and distributing atmospheric water at scale not only reduces the country’s reliance on conventional water sources, but also eliminates the need for single-use plastic water bottles. The facility’s circular bottled water delivery model ensures minimal environmental impact through the return, sanitization, and reuse of bottles and packaging materials.
“Our DIC facility is a key milestone in A1RWATER’s journey. With the capacity to produce over 1,00,000 litres of water daily, we are not just filling a gap in the market, we are setting a new benchmark for water sustainability in the UAE. This facility will serve as a catalyst, empowering us to expand our reach and impact across schools, government offices, private enterprises, and beyond,” says A1RWATER Global COO Dave Cupit.
Transforming water access in the UAE and beyond
The UAE has witnessed a 76% decline in fresh groundwater levels over the past decade. In response, A1RWATER’s advanced air-to-water technology presents a decentralised, scalable solution that significantly reduces water waste and CO2 emissions. The new facility, strategically located between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, enhances the ability to provide support to both current and future customers throughout the region.
“This facility is more than just an operational expansion; it’s a statement of intent,” says A1RWATER Managing Director Rob Bain. “We are here to shift the trajectory of water access in the UAE and beyond, starting with our ability to generate clean water directly from the air – no infrastructure, no plastics, just pure, sustainable water.”
Founded in 2018 in Abu Dhabi, A1RWATER’s portfolio includes diverse commercial and industrial solutions, besides humanitarian projects. With offices in the UAE, Switzerland, and the UK, A1RWATER is working to help companies, industries, and communities the world over source water more sustainably.
