A company called Vapur has come out with a collapsible, reusable water bottle. When filled, the bottle holds 16oz, but flattens and rolls up to a fifth of its original size when empty. This is a great product because it has the potential to encourage more people to stop buying plastic water bottles everyday, thereby reducing the carbon footprint we all make. The site also mentions how much money and pollution they save on product transportation. They claim that it takes 9x the number of trucks to transport the same amount of rigid water bottles. This of course saves on cost of transportation, but more importantly on the amount of greenhouse emissions made by the trucks. Overall, the product is very affordable, probably costing the customer about $13 after shipping and tax.
