Every
day walking through our cities, we see countless people carrying and
using disposable plastic bottles. The amount of plastic waste is
growing from day to day, polluting our oceans and increasing
greenhouse gases tremendously. Why is that so?
We
are living in a society where convenient and fashionable solutions
are available for nearly every aspect of our life’s, but when it
comes to carrying our number one food – drinking water – people
still rely on the methods from 40 years ago. The shape and design of
reusable bottles is one of the main reasons for that. Most of them
lack a fashionable design and contrary to the carrying devices we use
in our businesses, as a student or in our leisure time, no matter if
it is a backpack, a briefcase or a messenger bag, they mostly feature
a round “bottle” shape. Even the few which started with a more
rectangular design didn´t go the last mile. So we started developing
the aquabook.
We
want the behavior of using disposable bottles to end and therefore
completely rethought the process of carrying drinkable liquids. We
took the objects we use in our daily mobile lifestyle and created a
completely new bottle fitting in there. Its outer form is defined by
the A5 format, ensuring a smooth interaction with all types of bags
and with everything what’s normally in there like notebooks, books,
documents or food boxes. By doing so we can ensure the highest grade
of user friendliness.
Changing
personal habits is always hard, but if the product supporting this
change is more convenient and has better usability than the
conventional ones, plus, it features a contemporary design, people
will love to change. We want to support this change over several
years, so we focus on the highest quality while living environmental
sustainability and responsibility. All parts of our product are
manufactured in Germany based on a raw material from the US. Local
sourcing guarantees a minimization of transportation ways and
greenhouse gas emissions while ensuring the highest quality
standards.
But
we don´t just want people to change, we want them to make a
statement and everyone loves to share what he has created himself. As
every person is unique, the things he creates are as well. That’s
why we not only offer individual combinations of body and cap colors
but also offer the possibility to brand the bottle individually. Due
to state of the art printing technology people can use this worldwide
unique service at a fair and affordable price which makes it easy for
them to create their own, unique drinking device.
All
this combines to a product which can make the world a better place by
changing the way people drink and think. Not only for us but also for
future generations.
We
believe that the products we use should support the people in a
healthy and sustainable lifestyle, not the other way round. This
includes that reusable bottles have to be completely BPS and BPA free. That´s why we created the aquabook.
