WHY WE EXIST
THE PLASTIC PROBLEM
“Medical experts are becoming increasingly aware that exposure to microplastics, nanoplastics, and common hormone-disrupting chemicals such as bisphenols and phthalates may have a greater impact on our health than we previously recognized. While there is still much to learn, the research is growing and it is increasingly concerning, not only for our own health, but for the health of our children, who may be even more vulnerable to these chemicals due to their still-developing bodies.”

A NEW OUAI FORWARD
The everyday packaging that we've grown accustomed to makes ridding our homes of microplastics next to impossible—much less our bodies. One of the biggest culprits? Bottled water.
Whether you drink it from plastic, aluminum or glass, chances are you’re also ingesting microplastics, nanoplastics and other chemicals like phthalates, bisphenols (like BPA), and PFAS.
PLASTIC
33% of Americans (~112 million) drink plastic-bottled water daily.
22 million children drink water from plastic bottles every single day.
~240,000 microplastics are found in an average liter of bottled water.
STANDARD CANS
ALUMINUM
BPA-free is not equal to bisphenol-free.
Several bisphenol analogues are used as replacements to BPA in can liners.
~ 140 microplastic particles are found in an average liter of water in an aluminum can with a screw cap.
GLASS
Carries 2-3x MORE microplastics than plastic.
Metal caps shed paint fragments into water.

THE SUPERCAN SOLUTION
We knew there had to be a better way — after all, doesn’t clean water deserve clean packaging? So, we got to work and developed our very own Supercan™, the first-of-its-kind aluminum can that’s engineered with a liner that introduces no microplastics, bisphenols (like BPA), or phthalates into your water.
Grab some popcorn and see what we mean…
SIP-WORTHY
Water as nature intended…
Our H2O is natural artesian water sourced from the Edwards Aquifer in the Texas Hill Country, one of the most remarkable groundwater systems in the world. As a karst aquifer, the water flows through an intricate network of limestone and dolomite deposits and is naturally filtered and mineralized along the way.
The result is clean, crisp alkaline water that’s smooth and balanced without being heavy and metallic. And because of where the aquifer is situated (between impermeable geological layers), it’s naturally protected from surface contamination, requiring fewer interventions between the source and your sip.
