Nalgene Outdoor Hits the Road With Environmental Nonprofit, REVERB on Some of the Summer’s Hottest Live Music Tours | National


ROCHESTER, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Jul 9, 2024–

As the live music scene gears up for an electrifying summer season, Nalgene Outdoor, creators of the iconic reusable water bottle, is hitting the road for a tenth year of #RockNRefill, a campaign established in 2013 with nonprofit REVERB to reduce single-use plastics at live music events. Nalgene Outdoor has donated more than 500,000 bottles over the past decade, helping REVERB transform the way music fans hydrate at shows by avoiding single-use plastic water bottles, pushing for policy changes at venues to allow reusable bottles on site and normalizing the daily “refill and reuse” habit beyond the home. #RockNRefill will be a part of some of the hottest tours in 2024 including Billie Eilish, Guster, Dead & Company’s residency at the Sphere, and more, helping to reduce waste and raise funds to support social and environmental causes.

“As a touring musician for over 30 years, I saw first-hand how single-use plastic was hard to avoid on the road – it was just seen as almost inevitable. The partnership between REVERB and Nalgene has helped bring reusables into the mainstream for artists and fans and others in the music industry including venue operators to cut down on waste,” says Adam Gardner, Guster guitarist /vocalist and Co-Founder, Co-Executive Director of REVERB.

Since its inception a decade ago, #RockNRefill has effectively avoided the use of more than 5 million single-use plastic bottles at live music events. And the benefits don’t end there! Nalgene Outdoor donates bottles with limited-edition, artist-centric graphics. Those bottles are available for sale to fans at REVERB’s Action Villages on tours with 100 percent of the sales benefiting REVERB and other nonprofit organizations dedicated to social and environmental causes. Concert-goers can fill up for free at #RockNRefill water stations throughout the show, and then bring home a Nalgene bottle to use over and over. To date, this model has raised more than $4 million dollars and counting benefiting hundreds of nonprofit organizations nationwide!

“We’re proud of the sustainability movement #RockNRefill has helped inspire at concerts. When we started this partnership it was rare for venues to allow reusable bottles on site,” says Eric Hansen, marketing director, Nalgene Outdoor. “This simple addition to how concerts are run has forever changed the fan experience, the artists’ goals, and venue operations for the better.”

Look for Limited-Edition, #RockNRefill Nalgene Bottles Out On Tour This Summer and Fall

This summer, Nalgene Outdoor will donate an additional 75,000 custom-designed bottles each commemorating a respective artist’s tour or live event. #RockNRefill bottles are available for sale exclusively at REVERB Action Villages on tour and at select venues in 2024.
