San Francisco, Calif.
October 2, 2009 --- The Best Bottle Company found on the web at TheBestBottle.com has launched a unique and innovative recreational water bottle made of durable material that is BPA-free and can be reused more than 1,000 times, according to a company announcement. When empty, the bottle folds neatly and can be easily stored in a purse, jacket pocket, gym bag or carry-on luggage. The sturdy design makes The Best Bottle an ideal companion for those who want the convenience of their own drinking water with them as often as possible.

Need of the Hour in a Super Toxic Environment

"Water is the elixir of life," said Dr. Ryan Yip, Founder and President of The Best Bottle Company. "However, the methods we all use to carry our drinking water leave a lot to be desired," he said, adding that Americans not only throw away 2.5 MILLION plastic bottles every HOUR, of which 86% end up in US landfills, they squander 1.5 MILLION barrels of oil annually to make them. In addition, the largest landfill in the world floats in the middle of the Pacific ocean, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which is twice the size of Texas, USA. Plastic constitutes 90 percent of all trash floating in the world's oceans [source: LA Times].

The United Nations Environment Program estimated in 2006 that every square mile of ocean hosts 46,000 pieces of floating plastic [source: UN Environment Program]. In some areas, the amount of plastic outweighs the amount of plankton by a ratio of six to one.

Of the more than 200 billion pounds of plastic the world produces each year, about 10 percent ends up in the ocean [source: Greenpeace]. Seventy percent of that eventually sinks, damaging life on the ocean floor [source: Greenpeace]. The rest floats; much of it ends up in gyres and the massive garbage patches that form there, with some plastic eventually washing up on a distant shore. This problem is the focus of the Plastiki expedition, which is sailing a catamaran made from 20,000 plastic bottles around the globe and through the garbage patch. Moreover, every year, both industry and private citizens release 18 billion pounds of new pollutants and chemicals into the atmosphere, soil, and groundwater. As a result, today, the need to carry your own clean drinking water wherever you go has become paramount.

The Best Bottle is easy to clean, dishwasher-safe, and folds conveniently into a hockey puck shape for easy storage. Dr. Yip points out that in venues where there are security restrictions on carrying liquids, such as sporting events and airports, The Best Bottle is an ideal companion since it can be used to conveniently replenish your water supply from a tap or a water cooler.

The Best Bottle is the Best Solution

The planet's drinking water repository is unsafe at every source. Worldwide, more than one billion people lack access to safe and clean drinking water. Estimates project that this figure will touch 2.3 billion by 2025. A staggering 3.4 million people die annually from diseases caused by consuming contaminated water. The practice of carrying one's own clean drinking water in a non-disposable bottle that does not clog landfills is certainly a step in the right direction, according to industry observers.
