Kadeya is transforming the beverage industry from the bottle up.

We’ve designed the world’s first fully automated beverage vending machine. This machine dispenses water AND your favorite beverages on demand and then takes bottles back for cleaning & reuse. Kadeya washes, sanitizes, inspects, and refills bottles right where you use them.

No more plastic. No more pallets. No more waste.

Single-use is broken.

We all know plastic is a problem. Single-use bottles clog oceans, pollute ecosystems, and produce more greenhouse gases than the airline industry. Yet, we keep using them because they’re cheap, quick, and everywhere.

Kadeya aims to change how beverages are delivered and consumed. We want to reduce waste and fix inefficiencies in an outdated industry.

The beverage industry is outdated.

Ever wondered what it takes to get a packaged drink into your hand? It starts with raw material extraction, then bottle production, filling, and global transport.

Imagine a world where hydration is waste-free, cost-effective, and easy to access.

Kadeya cuts 99.9% of plastic waste and 75% of beverage-related GHG emissions.

This isn’t just about sustainability; it's a logistical challenge for companies that must hydrate their teams. We save money and reduce logistics issues for businesses needing to keep hundreds of workers hydrated.

Kadeya’s closed-loop beverage stations reinvent the packaged beverage supply chain.

Our kiosks provide drinks in reusable stainless steel bottles.

Bottles return to any kiosk in the network. There, robots clean, sanitize, inspect, and refill them all by themselves.

Our closed-loop system matches the convenience of grab-and-go without the waste or emissions.

Think of us as the Liquid Railroad—your zero-waste beverage solution, everywhere.

Our stainless steel bottles have a flat side. This design lets you carry your phone and bottle in one hand. The cap has a special twist mechanism to keep carbonation, so your drink stays cold and crisp.

Consumer demand for convenient, flavorful, and cold drinks is at an all-time high. Yet, this comes at a huge environmental cost. Americans use over 800 disposable containers per person each year. Wasting billions that end up in landfills or oceans.

At the same time, companies face pressure to cut plastic and carbon emissions. Workers and consumers want responsible options.

Until now, no scalable solution has existed.

New advances in robotics, cloud tech, and AI now allow for local, closed-loop bottling at scale. Kadeya is the first to combine these elements into a sustainable, profitable alternative to single-use bottles.

We’re not following a trend. We’re creating a new infrastructure.

Unlike other solutions Kadeya doesn't just vend water, but you can get all your favorite and branded flavored drinks now in a reuse system without the waste.

Our initial market is blue-collar workplaces where hydration is crucial.

Frontline workers in manufacturing, logistics, construction, and the military often can’t easily get safe, cold hydration.

The current system wastes resources. It relies on single-use pallets, vending machines, and jugs. This approach leads to high labor costs and health risks.

Early customers pre-ordered Kadeya to reduce plastic bottle waste. Our system also saves time, money, and labor in keeping their teams hydrated.

We’ve run three pilots that prove our key benefits. These workplaces aim to cut single-use plastic. They want to save money and improve employee hydration and engagement.

During our pilots, users loved us. Our power users became advocates, spreading positive experiences through word of mouth.

Kadeya owns and operates the station and offers a hydration-as-a-service pricing model. Workplaces pay per drink for water, making it free for employees. Workers can upgrade to flavored drinks, like vending machines.

We partner with Food & Beverage Service providers (e.g., Compass, Sodexo) for quick scaling. We provide a monthly lease or equipment purchase option. This is for channel partners who keep their drink revenues.

Our go-to-market strategy helps us grow with food and beverage service providers. It also connects us to direct customers who have large real estate footprints. This helps us deploy our robotic beverage stations with optimal effectiveness.

We currently have more demand than we can handle. We’re sold out through 2025, with our first 27 commercial stations shipping early 2026. New customers are reaching out daily to deploy our stations globally.

We’re starting with a $10 billion opportunity in U.S. workplace hydration—but that’s just the start.

We plan to expand to Europe and the UK in the next 3 to 5 years.

The global packaged beverage industry is worth $2 trillion. Kadeya’s closed-loop system can eliminate single-use containers across the industry.

The single-use market is 40 times bigger than reusables. Plus, it is growing faster, so reusables can’t keep up.

Reusables are not a scaleable solution to the global plastic waste crisis.

Kadeya replaces single-use bottled water and flavored drinks, not reusables.

Every single-use plastic bottle sheds microplastics and nanoplastics—tiny fragments that end up in your water, your body, and the air around you. And when bottles sit in hot warehouses, trucks, or job sites for days (or weeks), the leaching gets worse.

Recent studies have shown that:

1. Bottled water can contain hundreds of thousands of microplastics per liter
2. Heat and time significantly increase plastic leaching
3. Even aluminum cans and Tetra Paks often have plastic liners inside

Kadeya eliminates this risk at the source.

We use:

1. Stainless steel bottles—no plastic, no liner, no leaching
2. Fresh, on-demand bottling—your drink is dispensed seconds before you sip it
3. No storage in heat, no long transport times, no degradation of quality

This means:

1. No invisible contaminants
2. No chemical breakdown from temperature or UV exposure
3. Safer, cleaner, trusted hydration—every single time

Kadeya gives you peace of mind—not just about the planet, but about what’s actually in your drink.

We begin in workplaces where hydration budgets already exist. But our long-term vision? Places where people get drinks including: universities, hospitals, airports, sports and entertainment venues, retail, and more.

Future-looking projections cannot be guaranteed.

Kadeya’s ecosystem has more than just the kiosk. It features our stainless steel infinite bottle, a user app, and a corporate dashboard. These tools help track hydration and impact metrics. Partners and beverage companies also have advertising opportunities.

We're providing more than drinks. We're also offering valuable data insights. This will enhance the whole beverage ecosystem and open new revenue streams.

Kadeya’s hardware sets us apart. We collect unique data on hydration and beverage retail.

In the future, AI agents will help personalize shopping experiences. They will also optimize sales and consumption at every unique kiosk.

As we grow our network of stations, we can plug in to existing d-OOH advertising networks. This will generate hundreds of millions of annual impressions and digital OOH opportunities.

Kadeya is changing the out-of-home beverage market. It's doing it like the biggest disruptors today. Kadeya makes it easy to enjoy high-quality, cost-effective grab-and-go drinks. Plus, there’s no plastic waste!
