Certified Reduction of PFAS Enhances Sustainable Office Hydration, Solidifying Hydr8 as a Top Business Partner

NEW YORK, NY, March 18, 2025—Hydr8, a trailblazer in sustainable workplace hydration solutions, proudly announced today that its reverse osmosis systems have achieved NSF/ANSI 58 certification, a globally recognized standard for drinking water treatment systems. This milestone amplifies the value of Hydr8’s Zer0 Waste Pantry™, delivering unparalleled water purity alongside its eco-friendly breakroom offerings, and reinforcing Hydr8 as the go-to partner for businesses committed to health and sustainability.

The NSF/ANSI 58 certification, validated by rigorous testing from NSF International, ensures Hydr8’s systems effectively reduce contaminants like lead, arsenic, nitrates, and PFAS which are persistent “forever chemicals” plaguing water supplies in the Tri-State Area and beyond. This certification enhances the Zer0 Waste Pantry™, Hydr8’s flagship service, which provides offices with purified water, premium coffee, and snacks, all while eliminating waste through compostable materials and energy-efficient technology. With this upgrade, the water dispensed through Zer0 Waste Pantry™ stations meets the highest safety and quality standards, offering businesses a trusted, bottle-free hydration solution.

“Here at Hydr8, we continue to strive for progress and the next logical step was securing NSF/ANSI 58 certification to address the reduction of PFAS in our water and ice systems,” said Ralph Marucci, CEO and Co-Founder of Hydr8. “Businesses partnering with us now get a certified healthier alternative alongside our industry-leading sustainability metrics, proving you don’t have to sacrifice health for zero waste initiatives.”

Since launching the Zer0 Waste Pantry™, Hydr8 has redefined office break rooms by replacing plastic-heavy, wasteful practices with a holistic, sustainable model. With a goal to Elimin8™ single-use petroleum-based plastic use in food service operations, mitigate energy usage, and provide clients with detailed environmental impact reports which track reductions in CO2 emissions, plastic waste, and landfill use, the addition of NSF/ANSI 58-certified water strengthens this promise. Hydr8 continues to ensure that businesses in regions like Long Island and New Jersey, where PFAS contamination is a pressing issue, can rely on Hydr8 to safeguard employee health while meeting sustainability goals.

This certification makes Hydr8’s Zer0 Waste Pantry™ a standout choice in a market demanding both purity and responsibility. As companies face increasing pressure to reduce environmental footprints and comply with regulations like Local Law 97 or the SEC’s climate disclosure rules, Hydr8 delivers a turnkey solution that blends cutting-edge purification with measurable eco-impact, setting a new standard for corporate wellness and sustainability.
