PathWater
Pathwater is an American company and brand of purified water that is sold in aluminum reusable bottles.[1] The company was founded by Ali Orabi, Amer Orabi, and Shadi Bakour in California. [2]
History[edit]
Ali Orabi, Amer Orabi, and Shadi Bakour, alumni of Foothill College, founded Pathwater in Fremont in 2015.[3] The company aims to reduce the use of single-use plastic water bottles.[4] Angel investors include restaurateur Guy Fieri, NFL player Vernon Davis, and TV personality Ryan Seacrest.[5][2]
In 2019, accounting software company Intuit replaced their single-use plastic water bottles with Pathwater aluminum bottles.[6] Intuit offices are equipped with filtered water dispensers at all sites, allowing staff to reuse their bottles and shift away from single-use plastic.[7]
Some schools that re-opened during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States banned the use of drinking fountains to reduce the risk of spreading germs.[8] In Carson, Nevada, more than 6000 students were given refillable Pathwater bottles as an alternative.[9]
