Formula One is continually trying to better itself regarding sustainability and its environmental impact. A step forward in that direction, F1 starts a multi-year partnership with BWT.

This is being done to reduce single-use plastic within the sport’s community. The partnership with Best Water Technology begins today; making it the Official Water Technology Partner of Formula 1.

The new partnership will see the two entities collaborate to have a plastic-free paddock by 2025. This combined goal aspires to change the sport.

BWT, infamously associated with the bright pink livery of Racing Point, will continue its pink branding. Therefore, the color will make its presence felt more regularly on race weekends.

Both parties are deeply committed to increasing the sustainability of the sport and have implemented an action plan to do so. Ben Pincus, the Director of Commercial Partnerships at F1 said, “Sustainability is hugely important to us as a sport and having BWT as an official partner demonstrates our commitment to making a positive change across our sport and we look forward to building on our exciting partnership.” 

What does the new F1 partnership entail?

The first step of the partnership will see BWT provide its solutions to the sport. BWT will provide its technologies to entities like the Paddock Club and the Paddock.

Additionally, reusable water bottles will be given out to those who work and frequent those areas. BWT will set water stations up to refill the bottles; this will also allow people to drink water out of the tap.
