• Momoa tied the transformation to his Mananalu water brand by announcing a partnership with Boomerang Water to introduce a closed-loop system.
• The initiative will sanitize and bottle water onsite in Hawaii, reusing aluminum bottles to cut waste, reduce shipping emissions and eliminate single-use plastics.
