Announcing our new 100,000+ litre air-to-water bottling facility

Today, we proudly announce the launch of a new state-of-the-art bottling facility in Dubai Industrial City (DIC), poised to produce over 100,000 litres of pure water daily, directly from the air.

The new DIC facility, set to be fully operational in Q4 2024, will house 50+ A1R3000 units, each producing 3,000 litres of water per day. This translates to roughly 120,000 litres of pure drinking water produced per day, which we will supply in reusable glass bottles to hotels, schools, corporates offices and more across the region, eliminating millions of plastic water bottles and helping companies to accelerate their ESG goals.

A landmark development

This landmark development expands the proven model we piloted with the Fairmont Bab Al Bahr and aligns with the UAE Water Security Strategy 2036, the UAE Circular Economy Policy and the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 Strategy.

By generating and distributing atmospheric water at scale, we not only reduce the country’s reliance on conventional water sources, but also eliminate the need for single-use plastic water bottles. The facility’s circular bottled water delivery model ensures minimal environmental impact through the return, sanitisation and reuse of bottles and packaging materials.

“Our DIC facility is a key milestone in A1RWATER’s journey,” said Dave Cupit, A1RWATER Global COO. “With the capacity to produce over 100,000 litres of water daily, we are not just filling a gap in the market, we are setting a new benchmark for water sustainability in the UAE. This facility will serve as a catalyst, empowering us to expand our reach and impact across schools, government offices, private enterprises and beyond.”

Transforming water access in the UAE and beyond

The UAE has witnessed a 76% decline in fresh groundwater levels over the past decade. In response, our advanced air-to-water technology presents a decentralised, scalable solution that significantly reduces water waste and CO2 emissions. The new facility, strategically located between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, enhances our ability to support both current and future customers throughout the region.

“This facility is more than just an operational expansion; it’s a statement of intent,” said Rob Bain, A1RWATER Managing Director. “We are here to shift the trajectory of water access in the UAE and beyond, starting with our ability to generate clean water directly from the air — no infrastructure, no plastics, just pure, sustainable water.”
