Helen of Troy brand Hydro Flask, known for its insulated stainless steel flasks, announced Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada as the winner of its recent 2 Million Bottle Challenge.

Part of Hydro Flask’s #RefillForGood campaign launched in July of 2020, the 2 Million Bottle Challenge was held this past fall semester across college campuses in the U.S. and Canada and encouraged students to eliminate single-use plastic bottles and stay hydrated. Hydro Flask Campus Ambassadors started the challenge in September by encouraging students to bring their reusable water bottles to campus to fill with water from refill stations and fountains on campus, Using the app Tap, Hydro Flask was able to track in real-time how much progress each campus was making. Each refill station was cataloged via campus ambassadors and data was collected via Tap to equate the number of plastic bottles saved.

The students of Mount Allison University surpassed all other university campuses in refills and earned a #RefillForGood Hydro Flask celebration as the reward for being the winning campus. The Hydro Flask team was on campus in late March to hand out Hydro Flask bottles to students.

“We work diligently to promote mental and physical wellness across campus, particularly during stressful periods of the academic year. We are pleased to see our students are hydrating regularly during these times, especially as they prepare for the upcoming exam period, and are choosing to use the refill stations across campus,” said Matt Maston, director of accessibility and student wellness. “Thank you to MtA student Cailin Dueck who worked tirelessly to help track our progress on campus as part of Hydro Flask’s #RefillForGood campaign.”
