Platypus Reusable Water Bottle

The Platypus is a reusable water bottle that replaces your bottled water habit. The bottled water industry has grown exponentially over the last few years, which has resulted in a significant environmental impact.

The first issue is the oil required to manufacture the bottles - 1.5 million barrels in the US per ear. The second issue is the landfill repercussions as 8 out of 10 bottles do not get recycled. For these reasons, a durable and reusable water bottle is a great option for people who carry water with them while running errands or playing sports.

The Platypus water bottle is made from polypropylene plastic and weighs 80% less than a standard reusable hard-plastic bottle such as the Nalgene water bottles. The Platypus is collapsible when empty for easy storage and comes in a variety of sizes ranging in capacity from 0.5L to 2L and weighing between 20 and 30 grams.
