Over the past few years, it seems as though bottled water has fallen from grace. Once heralded as a safe and clean source of H20, the industry is constantly under attack from environmentalists, who focus attention on the dirty little secrets of the industry. In response, many bottling companies have begun to purchase carbon offsets, as well as incorporate more recycled materials into their plastic bottles. With that in mind, I suppose it was only a matter of time until someone came up with the anti-bottle. Enter Vapur, which is the first flexible, BPA-free water bottle that’s designed to fit in your pocket, purse, backpack or briefcase. Unlike traditional rigid water bottles, Vapur can be rolled, folded, flattened and tucked away. The minds behind Vapur describe their idea as simple, while their task is otherwise great.
Refillable water bottles are a great way to help fight the global water and environmental crisis. But let’s face it, carrying bulky water bottles around everyday can be a pain, especially when empty. So we designed the Vapur flexible bottle to “fold-and-go”— which means it can be rolled, folded or flattened when empty—making it the most portable and convenient water bottle on the planet. We hope this simple idea will help put an end to the use of bottled water.
