"It takes three or four liters of tap water to fill one liter of water." In addition, the production of a PET bottle requires crude oil, a raw material whose reserves will eventually be exhausted. In Switzerland, we enjoy a privilege that many other countries can only dream of: turning on the tap and enjoying tap water straight from the tap! But that doesn't stop us from lugging liters of packaged water home instead or buying another bottle of water at the kiosk on the way to work.
"It takes three or four liters of tap water to fill one liter of water". With this statement, Peter Gleick, water expert at the Pacific Institute in San Francisco, emphasizes the immense consumption of tap water for non-ecological purposes. However, the importance of water is demonstrated by the fact that all forms of life depend on it. Now, however, this necessary and therefore valuable commodity is filled into countless plastic bottles every day and sold around the globe. It has long been known that plastic is not a friend of sustainability. The production of a PET bottle requires crude oil, a raw material whose reserves will be exhausted at some point. Nevertheless, we continue to produce plastic every day. This often ends up in the oceans, putting an end to the lives of countless seabirds and fish.In many European countries, we enjoy a privilege that many other countries can only dream of: turning on the tap and enjoying tap water straight from the tap! But that doesn't stop us from lugging liters of packaged water home instead or buying another bottle of water at the kiosk on the way to work. But why do we risk a sore back every time we do this or are simply too comfortable and skillfully ignore the fact that plastic is anything but sustainable? In most cases, the thought of behaving more ecologically only occurs when we see a beach covered in plastic on a summer vacation - and with it a guilty conscience, which then quickly disappears as soon as we are back in the middle of our everyday lives and reach for a plastic bottle out of sheer habit the next time we go shopping.
With the new NIKIN TreeBottle makes any excuse for preferring packaged water to tap water superfluous. On the one hand, the reusable vacuum flask can save costs by consciously avoiding packaged water when shopping. On the other hand, everyone can do something for the environment and against the growing mountains of plastic with little effort and great benefit.
The NIKIN TreeBottle thanks you for your contribution to the environment by ensuring that hot drinks actually stay hot for 12 hours, while cold drinks retain their temperature for a full 24 hours. This makes it a loyal companion in the hot summer months, but also in sub-zero temperatures in winter. And last but not least: your back will thank you sooner or later.
So: next time, just leave the PET bottle on the shelf and opt for the stainless steel bottle from NIKIN instead. It looks incredibly good anyway!
