With water being essential to life, it is crucial to find a sustainable way to distribute and drink it. This is where water bottles play a critical role. We have seen water bottles specifically designed to be eco-friendly and convenient. For example, a squeezable bottle made from elastic titanium. This durable material renders the bottle long-lasting and avoids the water contamination typical of plastic bottles. Similarly, the American company Treeson Spring Water came up with an innovative way to encourage users to recycle their bottles. The company pays postage to mail bottles to a recycling plant free of charge. To make it even easier, they print the destination address on the side of the water bottle. Choose Water has gone a step further, producing bottles that don’t even need to be recycled.
