Gal Gadotis giving smartwater a new look.
“I only partner with brands that I love and believe in, and smartwater is such an innovative, iconic brand that I’ve always been using,” Gadot says. “There’s people who struggle drinking water. I’m the opposite. I wake up and I drink smartwater. I’ve been drinking smartwater for years when I travel and run around on sets.”

In her announcement post on Instagram, Gadot specifically calls out how the bottles are 100% recyclable. It was important for the environmentally conscious star to know the company was on the same page as her when it came to sustainability.
“Obviously, the world is dealing with a big packaging waste problem,” she tells PEOPLE. “Before I partnered with smartwater, I spoke to heads of the company and I was very relieved and happy and excited to find out that the company, and the Coca-Cola company as well, has invested billions of dollars into sustainability, including collecting and recycling a bottle for each bottle that’s being sold. I love the fact that they want to do business right and they don’t just talk the talk, they walk the walk.”
“So proud to announce my new partnership with @smartwater, a brand that is rooted in innovation both inside & outside the plant based and 100% recyclable bottle! smartwater has personally been a part of my life for many years and I’m excited to be a part of the team!,” Gadot wrote next to an Instagram shot of her with the recognizable sleek bottle and label.
