Mid-Twisting Reusable Bottles

The ALEX Bottle Unscrews in the Middle and is Eco Friendly

— November 21, 2014 — Eco
An easy-to-clean take on the reusable water bottle, the ALEX bottle unscrews in the middle. Currently seeking finances on crowdfunding site Kickstarter, the ALEX bottle is especially compact too, making it easy to store and pack. Holding 26 ounces, the water bottle is also highly customizable so you can get one for everyone in the family and tell them apart.

Despite only holding water, traditional water bottle design often results in smelly containers over time. This is no longer the case with its unique twisting feature, whether you choose to wash it by hand or in the dishwasher. Capable of compacting to half its size, the vessel is also the perfect travel, camping or hiking companion. Eco-friendly in more ways than one, this product is BPA free and has a strap made from recycled plastic bottles.
