The United States is the largest consumer of bottled bottle. 50 billion bottles of water are consumed annually in the U.S. 38 billion of those are land filled each year (the rest are recycled). It takes 17 million barrels of oil each year to make water bottles for the U.S. market- enough oil to fuel 1.3 million cars for an entire year! Take into account the manufacturing process and delivery method of the bottles to the market and the impact on the environment is staggering.
Rather than purchasing bottled water, consider bottling your own with a reusable container. Vapur is a completely collapsible water bottle. It isn’t rigid like other water bottles, making it infinitely portable. It can go more places and fit in tighter spaces than traditional water bottles. Made from ultra durable FDA-approved BPA-Free plastic, it can be folded flat or rolled when empty yet stands upright when full. An attached carabiner allows you to clip Vapur wherever you’d like. There’s even a writable text area for personalization. Vapur is dishwasher safe and freezable. It’s inner layer is odor, taste and stain resistant.
Vapur ships flat so it takes less space and use less fuel to transport than rigid water bottles further reducing the environmental impact. Vapur, as a company, supports water-related environmental causes through participation in 1% for the Planet. Vapur water bottles are available in several different color choices, and 2 sizes. A Fun-Size Two-Pack is perfect for on the go. I’ve been using them for our weekly picnic in the park and my kids love them! I freeze them and they keep our lunch cold but melt enough to be drinkable at lunch time. They are the perfect size!
