Wateralia and Hypercube have signed a ten-year strategic partnership aimed at accelerating the adoption of water positivity models across industrial ecosystems through the integration of Water Credits, digital traceability infrastructure and measurable water footprint management systems.
The collaboration combines Wateralia’s industrial expertise in integrated water cycle management with Hypercube’s blockchain-based infrastructure for the generation, certification, traceability, exchange, and retirement of Water Credits. The initiative reflects the growing importance of water resilience within ESG strategies, industrial continuity planning, and supply chain governance.
As global water stress intensifies, companies are increasingly required to move beyond generic sustainability commitments and adopt measurable, verifiable, and operational approaches to water management. Through this partnership, Wateralia and Hypercube aim to position water positivity not as a symbolic concept, but as a concrete industrial framework capable of generating measurable environmental and economic value.
In 2025, Wateralia fully compensated the residual water footprint of its production units through verified Water Credits generated within Hypercube’s ecosystem. The company integrated Water Credits into a broader strategy focused on reducing water consumption, improving operational efficiency, supporting water reuse initiatives, and responsibly compensating unavoidable residual impacts.
The agreement also includes the progressive extension of the model across Wateralia’s supply chain, enabling suppliers and industrial partners to measure, reduce and compensate their water footprint while integrating water-related KPIs into ESG reporting frameworks.
Through Hypercube’s public blockchain infrastructure, every Water Credit is associated with measurable datasets, geolocated environmental impact, and transparent digital traceability mechanisms designed to ensure accountability and avoid double counting.
“This partnership demonstrates how Water Credits can evolve into a practical governance and industrial tool capable of supporting responsible water management across entire supply chains” said Pietro Gorgazzini, CEO of Hypercube.
Federico De Angelis, CEO of Wateralia, added: “We chose to undertake the path toward water positivity directly and concretely, integrating water stewardship into the evolution of our industrial model and promoting this approach across our ecosystem of partners.”
The initiative further strengthens the growing adoption of Hypercube’s Water Credit infrastructure by utilities, industrial operators, and ESG-focused organizations across Europe and international markets.
