Jason Momoa Takes Major Step to Revolutionize Water Bottling with Sustainable Tech
Jason Momoa, known for his roles in "Aquaman" and "Dune," is taking an innovative leap to tackle one of the world's most pressing environmental issues: plastic waste. The actor has relaunched his water company, Mananalu , in collaboration with a cutting-edge technology designed to reduce the use of single-use plastic bottles, something he has passionately advocated against. During his recent visit to Hawaii, Momoa made a significant announcement at the Twin Fin Resort in Waikiki, where his new initiative took center stage.
The crux of this new venture lies in a revolutionary machine, the Boomerang Water system, which fills aluminum bottles with purified local water. These bottles, unlike traditional plastic ones, are reusable and can be sanitized, refilled, and sealed at the same location, creating a closed-loop system that is both environmentally friendly and cost-effective. Hotel guests at participating locations, such as the Twin Fin Resort, will receive an aluminum water bottle upon check-in. After use, the bottles are returned at designated "recovery stands" where they are cleaned and refilled, ready to be reused by future guests. This process not only eliminates the need for single-use plastic but also avoids the energy-intensive process of shipping plastic bottles across long distances.

Momoa, who has always been vocal about his love for the environment, shared his motivation behind this ambitious project. "I'm just trying to leave a better place for my children," he said in an interview. His dedication to environmental issues is evident in his decision to fight back against single-use plastics, which he describes as "hurting our oceans, our land, and our bodies." He made it clear that the new Mananalu model, with its ability to produce bottles locally, represents a game-changing step in reducing the overwhelming amount of plastic waste created by the bottled water industry.
The original Mananalu was launched in 2019, but Momoa encountered difficulties in logistics and distribution, which led him to rethink the approach. By partnering with the founders of Boomerang Water, he found a solution that not only bottles water locally but also uses a filtration process that removes harmful substances like microplastics and toxins. This new system can fill up to 500 aluminum or glass bottles per hour, ensuring that local businesses and hotels can easily transition away from plastic while providing guests with clean, purified water.
Over the next 18 months, Mananalu Powered by Boomerang Water aims to install up to 20 of these machines across Hawaii. The company hopes to expand to cruise ships, convention centers, and schools. Not only does the initiative promise to cut down on plastic waste, but it also has the potential to be used in disaster-relief situations or areas with unsafe drinking water. The system's ability to purify water from various sources means it could help communities in need, such as Flint, Michigan, where the water supply was contaminated with lead.
Momoa's move comes at a time when the global bottled water industry is worth a staggering $270 billion. However, with more than 97% of bottled water containers made from plastic, the impact on the environment is severe. "We need to eliminate this waste," Momoa states firmly, calling the new technology a necessary step forward in cleaning up the planet.
The machines are already installed at several notable hotels and resorts, including the Romer House Waikiki and the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai. With plans to expand to more schools and institutions, the company is pushing forward with its mission to replace plastic water bottles with reusable, sustainable alternatives. It’s clear that Jason Momoa isn’t just playing a hero on screen—he’s working hard to be one in real life, ensuring that future generations inherit a cleaner, healthier planet.
