Chlorophyll Water Wins Best New Water Concept at 2026 Global Water Drinks Awards

US functional-water brand Chlorophyll Water has won the Best New Water Concept award at the 2026 Global Water Drinks Awards. The award was presented on November 4 during the 23rd Global Water Drinks Congress, held in Barcelona from November 3 to 5.

The brand was also named a finalist in the Best Functional Water category, earning recognition in two categories at this year’s awards. The awards, organized by FoodBev Media, recognize innovation and excellence across the international water-drinks industry.

Chlorophyll Water combines purified water with plant-derived chlorophyll from alfalfa and vegan vitamins A, B12, C and D. It became the first bottled water in the United States to receive Clean Label Project Certification, which includes independent testing for more than 90 contaminants, including heavy metals, pesticide residues and substances used to increase the flexibility or pliability of materials.

The international judging panel included six judges from Japan, Germany, Romania, the United Kingdom and the United States. Entries were assessed on taste and sensory qualities, appearance and branding, concept and innovation, and category relevance.

The award adds to Chlorophyll Water’s growing industry recognition. The brand was named a top trending brand by Spate Market Research, won Walmart’s Golden Ticket from more than 12,000 applicants, and was ranked No. 9 on RangeMe’s Top 50 Food & Beverage Brands list.

Chlorophyll Water founder Matt Levine said the recognition reflected the company’s journey from adding chlorophyll to his morning water to building a globally recognized brand. The company is also expanding its packaging range with 16.9-ounce and one-liter bottles made from 100 per cent recycled plastic, along with new 16-ounce aluminium cans.
