Vapur Bottles

Have you ever finished your water for the day and are tired of carrying around the bottle? You could purchase a plastic bottle and throw it away when your done but you are more environmentally conscious than that! You don't want to contribute to the 50 billion water bottles already consumed in the United States or the 200 billion around the world. Only 23% of plastic water bottles are made from recycled products, so even if you recycle you are still creating waste.

Or could use the Vapur bottles also known as the “The Anti-Bottle”. The Vapur bottles are refillable, reusable bottles which collapse when you are done.The chamber for water folds up when empty then can fit in your pocket, small purse, or get hooked onto your backpack. Here are some features of the Vapur Bottles:

Safe- FDA approved with an inner layer that is odor, taste, and stain resistant

Easy to Clean- can be placed on top rack of dishwasher then air dried

Durable- can be frozen for ice pack or a long day

Identifiable- so you know which one is yours

The Vapur bottle is a great alternative to other reusable water bottles which can be bulky or hard to clean and clear choice over plastic bottles. In addition to all the great features of the product, they are extremely sustainable beyond the actual bottle. Vapur bottles are shipped empty and flat so they take up 90% less shipping space and fuel for transport in comparison to plastic water bottles. The packaging is printed using wind power on 100% post consumer waste. The company is part of the 1% For the Planet program which donates a portion of their sales to water-related environmental issues.

So when purchasing a Vapur bottle you are not only saving money by not buying plastic bottles, creating unnecessary waste, and creating more space in your personal belongings- you are supporting a green company. All in all, Vapur bottles are a great product for sustainability and with their donations to environmental causes there is no reason why you shouldn’t try their product.

The folks at Vapur are kind enough to send me a sample water bottle so I can test out the product for you! I can't tell you how excited I am to take it to the gym, running errands, or to the pool. Check back in a few weeks to see my review of Vapur "The Anti-Bottle" and in the mean time check out their website: http://vapur.us/

  1. I hope that the vapur bottles would be available in asian countries as well. That is really a good alternative than reusable plastic bottles which are so bulky after using.
