the future of grab & go hydration. beverage vending stations without the single-use waste.

About us

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.

    "Stay hydrated" is what we hear all the time. One of the places where this is easier said than done is on the manufacturing floor.   Manuela Zoninsein and I had this conversation at Kadeya’s demo day yesterday.   Why it's important to stay hydrated in manufacturing:   💡 Clear Thinking: Dehydration can make it hard to think clearly and make good decisions, which is crucial for safety in a manufacturing environment. 💡 Energy Levels: Drinking enough water helps keep energy levels up, reducing tiredness and keeping productivity high throughout the day. 💡 Physical Safety: Staying hydrated prevents muscle cramps and heat-related illnesses, which are essential for workers handling heavy machinery   But there are several reasons why getting enough water can be difficult in a manufacturing setting.   🤔 Physical Layout: Manufacturing facilities are typically large and spread out, meaning water stations can be far from workstations, making it inconvenient for workers to access them quickly.   🤔 Limited Breaks: Workers often have limited break times due to the continuous nature of their tasks, reducing opportunities to leave their workstations and get water.   🤔 Safety Protocols: Strict safety regulations may require workers to follow specific paths or wear protective gear that can't be easily removed, complicating the process of getting to water stations.   🤔 High Workload: The physically demanding nature of manufacturing work leaves workers less able to take the time needed to drink water, even if they recognize the need.   🤔 Environmental Factors: The hot and strenuous conditions can increase fatigue, making it harder for workers to make the effort to seek out water stations.   This is where Kadeya’s closed-loop beverage vending system comes in! It's designed to keep workers hydrated and ensure safety and productivity by making it easy for them to access fresh beverages.   And - by reusing stainless steel bottles instead of single-use plastic bottles, Kadeya prevents tons of plastic from ending up in landfills!   This innovation is a perfect example of how sustainable solutions can meet practical needs in demanding environments.   Seeing Kadeya’s system in action is exciting to me every time!   #PlasticFreeJuly #Sustainability #Kadeya #MakeYourImpact

    Fascinating guest talk at Climate Drift today with Manuela Zoninsein, CEO and Founder of Kadeya. What is it? Zero-waste beverage kiosk. Grab a stainless steel from a bottle filled with your beverage of choice. When you want a refill, bring it back to the machine where it will wash and sanitize your bottle, and give you another bottle with your beverage of choice. Why? 💚 It is simply better. ♻ It's zero waste. No more single use containers. 😎 SS keeps the beverage colder. 💧 The app encourages hydration. 👨💼 Reduces operational overhead to truck, unload, stock hundreds of bottles/cans into a refrigerator. 💪 Reduces the need for people to carry around heavy personal water bottles. 😍 Flexibile - water, soda, latest beverage fad, the classics. Tailor it to what you want. 💰 Saves money! If the above already does not make for an incredible business, here's the gravy! 🌎 The GHG Footprint of Kadeya’s 500ml serving of water is 74.8% ⬇ than PET bottled water, 64.1% ⬇ than PLA bottled water, 74.2% ⬇ than aluminum can water, 66.1% ⬇ than boxed water, and 84.6% ⬇ than single-use glass bottled water. When over 1,000,000 plastic bottles are purchased every minute around the world, and much of it ending up in landfills of the ocean (Thank goodness for companies like The Ocean Cleanup), Kadeya will literally save the planet from billions of tons of plastic pollution, and in doing so, save our health. Would you like to see Kadeya in your workplace, school, organization? Check them out at https://www.kadeya.com/ Thank you Climate Drift for the opportunity to engage with incredible leaders and companies - and thank you Manuela for your leadership and crystal-clear focus on solving a logistics problem that also solves for climate.
