Culligan Brings Bottle-Free Water Solutions to the Chicago Bears
Mursal Rahman — July 23, 2026
Filtered hydration systems are helping organizations reduce plastic waste by replacing bottled water with permanent water filtration infrastructure. Culligan International has partnered with the Chicago Bears as the team's Official Water Filtration Partner, installing advanced filtration solutions throughout Halas Hall to provide players, coaches, staff and visitors with cleaner, better-tasting drinking water. The systems are designed to reduce reliance on single-use plastic bottles while supporting the Bears' sustainability goals ahead of the 2026 training camp.
The partnership demonstrates how large venues and sports organizations can integrate refillable water solutions into everyday operations to encourage more sustainable hydration habits. Expanding access to filtered drinking water can significantly reduce plastic waste while improving convenience and water quality for employees and guests. For Culligan, collaborating with a major NFL franchise increases brand visibility, showcases its commercial filtration capabilities and creates opportunities to expand bottle-free water solutions across sports, entertainment and other high-traffic facilities.
