Paper Water Bottle

06/28/2009 - 9:00 am By Arnt Eriksen

The 360 Paper Water Bottle is a single serve water bottle made from sustainable sheet stock such as bamboo, palm leaves etc. An internal micro-thin film provides the liquid / air barrier and the fusing material to join the two pressed halves together. The design enables the self-bundling of multiple containers to eliminate the need for separate six pack packaging.

The 360 Paper Water bottle is an innovative product, made from 100% renewable material – yes, it’s paper. The bottle features a lid which peels off into two pieces, one piece keeps the top clean from dust or other contaminants and the other can be reattached to seal the bottle. As the bottles can be produced on a single line and bundled for shipping, extra packaging can be eliminated, making this bottle a very cool environmental solution to reducing the number of plastic bottles. We also found an interview with the inventor of this cool product. Hope you enjoy the insight that went to designing the product as much as we did.

That’s great does that still mean that it is okay to ship water hundreds or thousands of miles around the globe.

What is the internal micro-thin film made from? Compostable?

Make the bottle edible! Then we could save the plants that they currently use… plus composting would take place intestinally! Yes I know that is not a word. If it were made of low carb, high protein food, WOW! Okay, you heard it here first. I copyright this idea! © 2009 bkursonis @ twitter…

The whole point of this bottle is presumably better/easier decomposition and/or better/easier recycling.
I don’t quite see the absolute success in terms of either objectives, given the plastic film on the inside. Means you have difficulty seperating the substrates and consequently recycling.
From a recycling perspective, pure plastic is better, because better/easier to identify, homogenous, no need to seperate 2+ substrates, can go straight into the recycling process.

Ad Werner – The layer is made out of PLA: Polylactic acid, a biodegradable, thermoplastic, aliphatic polyester. So nature and time will take care of it ;-)

this has two issues:

1. it doesn’t solve the problem of depleting potable water
2. if this goes ahead, I see them clearing the virgin forest to make way for bamboo plantations
