'Kranavatn' is the name of a premium tap water "brand" from Inspired by Iceland that was created with the aim of getting travelers to minimize waste. The unique brand was created in response to a study that found 65% of global travelers consume more plastic bottled water abroad than at home, and just one in four travelers pack a reusable bottle when they travel.
The brand name "Kranavatn," is Icelandic for tap water and is now being promoted as a luxury product by Iceland as a way of discouraging the use of single-use plastic bottles. Environmentally minded travelers are now being encouraged to take the Kranavatn challenge to drink the country's high-quality, pure glacial-filtered tap water when they are on holiday and see why Iceland is known as the home of some of the cleanest, best-tasting tap water in the world.
