Water Bobble

Australian designer, Karim Rashid, has created a revolutionary product that is not only environmentally friendly but extremely convenient.

“We all love bottled water.In fact, we are obsessed by the convenience of it, but unfortunately, this doesn’t lead to a sustainable future.”

He has successfully reinvented the water bottle developing the bobble, which takes tap water and filters it into clean water as you drink.

Research shows, Australians alone spend $544 Million every year on disposable and portable water bottles. Each year, nearly 300,000 barrels of oil are used to make plastic water bottles, most of which are thrown away. Littering our pavements and ending up in landfills.

Rashid set out to satisfy his desire for fresh, clean, portable water while minimising the considerable costs bottled water imposes on our environment and ourselves. He then invented a recyclable and resilient water bottle which holds low cost and is aesthetically pleasing. The bottle is not only sustainable but also made from recycled plastic, ensuring every aspect of its creation and existence is environmentally friendly.

Disadvanage: Filter has to be replaced every 2 months or 150 litres.
