Cano Water and Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) have joined forces to promote sustainable hydration across the city's transport network.
The partnership aims to help commuters stay refreshed while championing environmental sustainability.
Since July, cans of Cano Water have been distributed at key Metrolink stops and transport interchanges.
This initiative was launched in response to the summer heatwave, providing a refreshing alternative to single-use plastic bottles.
Cano Water is known for its infinitely recyclable aluminium packaging.
To further promote this sustainable choice, a Metrolink tram has been wrapped in Cano Water's branding.
The mobile advertisement serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainable choices as it travels around Greater Manchester.
Danny Vaughan, TfGM’s chief network officer, said: "We are delighted to be partnering with Cano Water to support our Bee Network customers by providing access to free water during very hot weather.
"As part of our commitment to sustainability, we wanted to work with a forward-thinking brand like Cano, who share our values, allowing us to cut down on single-use plastic on the network while helping our customers on hot days."
Metrolink, powered entirely by electricity from cleaner energy sources, serves over 44 million passengers a year.
It is a model of sustainable transport, with zero emissions and minimal noise.
Greater Manchester's Bee Network, the UK's first locally controlled bus system in nearly 40 years, is also committed to sustainability.
Since its launch in September 2023, the Bee Network has introduced 50 new zero-emission buses, with plans for more.
Josh White, Cano Water's CEO and co-founder, said: "Our partnership with TfGM is a natural fit and a testament to how innovative partnerships can drive positive change in busy cities.
"Just as the Bee Network offers a more sustainable transport option, Cano Water provides an eco-friendly alternative to plastic bottles.
"Together, we're making it easier for Manchester residents to make environmentally responsible choices."
This partnership comes after Cano Water's recent milestone in sustainability by relocating production from the Austrian Alps to the UK.
The move has more than halved the brand's carbon footprint while maintaining the quality and purity of its water.
