World Tap Water Week: Top 7 Product Designs

One in a series of posts celebrating the first annual World Tap Water Week at Green Thing.

There’s a reusable bottle out there for everyone and here are 7 fabulous designs to prove it.

– The Water Bobble filters water as you go. For those who claim they don’t like the taste of tap, this is the answer. Resuable and filters.

– The “anti-bottle” aka Vapur is a foldable, reusable water bottle that can pack into the tiniest of places, while still maintaining its durability.

– Some may fear that their beloved reusable bottle will accumulate mold over time. But squinting down that skinny hole of a bottle may not ease the mind. Insert Alex Bottle. The water bottle that comes apart in the middle so you can clean both the top and bottom sections.

– SIGG. Classic. Durable. Recycleable. Swiss-made. Need we say more?

– Part bamboo, part glass, the Bamboo Bottle can carry liquids of all temperatures.

– Clean Bottle is 100% non-toxic and BPA free, and you can screw off the top and bottom to clean the hard to reach bits.

– Kor bottles are made from reused and recycled materials. As part of the design of the bottle, $5.00 from each bottle sold of a specific pattern goes to a cause associated to that design.

Honourable mention goes to the Tap Water Bottle, for giving the hospitality industry something to use for tap- and to boast about it.
