Boon Marks Entry in Bhutan Collaborating with &Beyond Hotel to eradicate plastic wastage

• Boon and &Beyond's collaboration targets a reduction in carbon emissions exceeding 2,800 kilograms.

India, September 21, 2023 - Boon, a globally recognized water technology startup utilizing cutting-edge IoT technology, is pleased to announce its strategic partnership with &Beyond Hotel, marking its entry in Bhutan. Together, they are dedicated to providing access to safe drinking water while simultaneously addressing the critical issues of plastic waste and water inefficiency through Boon's revolutionary ZeroMileWater™ technology. This pioneering endeavor underscores our commitment to sustainability, eco-friendly hospitality, and the broader cause of environmental conservation within the Bhutanese context.

Boon patented Zero Mile Initiative introduces an innovative in-house water purification system that filters and packages water in eco-conscious glass bottles, thus substantially reducing plastic waste. By embracing a zero-mile delivery approach, this initiative further minimizes carbon emissions associated with long-distance transportation.

Boon's collaboration with &Beyond in Bhutan is fully aligned with the nation's unwavering dedication to environmental preservation. Bhutan, often heralded as the world's first carbon-negative country, a vital carbon sink in the global fight against climate change. The partnership between Boon and &Beyond is poised to contribute significantly to Bhutan's sustainability efforts, potentially resulting in the reduction of over 2,800 kilograms of carbon emissions and more than 930 kilograms of plastic waste annually.

"Our collaboration with &Beyond Bhutan extends the reach of our global impact. Boon's innovative NetZeroWater™ technology seamlessly complements &Beyond's steadfast commitment to sustainable tourism and the broader development goals of Bhutan. Together, we are setting new benchmarks in sustainable hospitality and environmental preservation."
