‘Aquaman’ star backs new technology aimed at reducing single-use plastic water bottles – Hawaii News Now

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – New technology that’s meant to reduce single-use plastic water bottles is getting help from “Aquaman” himself.
Mananalu, a water company owned by Hawaii-born actor Jason Momoa, is relaunching as Mananalu Powered By Boomerang Water, an on-site bottling system that can sanitize, rinse, fill, and cap 400 to 500 glass or aluminum bottles per hour.
“I originally launched Mananalu to challenge the drinking water industry to shift away from single-use plastic bottles that are destroying the health of people and the planet,” Momoa said. “This technology is a game-changer, and I am honored to be able to bring it to Hawaii first, under Mananalu, to help restore the local ecosystem.”
The bottles will be hand inspected and pre-sanitized. Water is locally sourced and filtered for the removal of microplastics, toxins, bacteria, and chemicals.
“It’s hurting our bodies. It’s hurting our oceans. It’s hurting our land. We should be the ones to just ban it. It shouldn’t even be allowed here,” Momoa said.
The partnership between Mananalu and Boomerang Waterwas announced in May of last year.
Bottling systems are currently available to guests of The Twin Fin Hotel, Romer House Waikiki, Kaimana Beach Hotel, and Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach.
