Portable soda maker bottle. Always perfectly fresh & fizzy. Zero waste.
Introducing Bottle+, the portable soda maker with an integrated and refillable CO2 tank that allows you to create your own sparkling water anytime & anywhere, without single-use plastics. One full Bottle+ gas tank is enough to produce up to 15 bottles of sparkling water on the go. Once the gas tank runs empty, simply refill it at your home refilling station which works with standard CO2 cylinders.
The sparkling water production process is easy, quick, and without any safety concerns. You can even choose your preferred level of carbonation!
They are designing and engineering their patent-pending solution in Switzerland in collaboration with professional partners and in consultation with the Swiss safety authorities. Along the way, they have been continuously integrating feedback from our community. Bottle+ combines technology and sustainability to form a unique customer experience.
Bottle+ comes with high quality, durable materials, and a stunning design. A powder-coated, single-wall stainless steel body is supplemented with the lid and the adapter made out of BPA-free HDPE. All parts are dishwasher safe.
Bottle+ has a water volume of 0.6 liters (about 20 oz).
Its compact design makes it your perfect companion to bring along during work and free-time activities. The SPARK adapter weighs about 200 grams – which is similar to your smartphone’s weight.
The refilling station has the following dimensions: HxLxW = 15×11.8×7.1 inches = 38x30x18 cm.
Did you know, that every hour 54.9 million plastic bottles are selling around the world?
Adopting circular economy principles is one of the core strategies to address the problem of single-use plastics. Bottle+ has adopted two main principles by avoiding the production of any kind of waste and by assuring a long lifetime of the bottle.
11 million tons of plastic enter our oceans every year. They believe that plastic reduction and plastic collection must happen together to tackle worldwide plastic pollution. By establishing a partnership with Cleanhub they will collect 1 kg of plastic for every Bottle+ sold before it can end up in our oceans. Cleanhub’s collection efforts are targeting the regions with the greatest risk of excessive plastic waste. Using the best methods for treating plastic in the regions where it’s collecting.
Sparkling water is a healthy substitute for carbonated sugared drinks and the perfect thirst quencher.
In other words, no sugar while keeping the excitement. The more excitement, the more you drink, and the more hydrated you stay. This allows you to perform at your best both physically and mentally.
Bottle+ outshines its competition in the sparkling water market in various aspects: Portability, sustainability, design, and many more.
The detachable adapter doesn’t only ease keeping your bottle clean (even after carbonating sugared drinks!), but it also gives you the flexibility you need. Don’t feel like drinking sparkling water today and carrying the extra weight? No worries, just replace the SPARK with the STILL adapter and tackle your daily challenges.
Many people and organizations have been involved to bring Bottle+ to where it is now.
Designers, engineering offices, accelerators and incubators, metal processing companies, national safety centers, prototyping companies, and of course the Bottle+ Co-Founders. They are proud to have engineered everything locally in Zurich, Switzerland.
A fully working prototype is developed, it is however not yet spatially optimized and not yet ready to manufacture. The next steps are not a question of feasibility, but a question of time and financial resources.
The team makes five friends from Switzerland and alumni who recently graduated from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich) and the University of St. Gallen (HSG). They love sparkling water. However, what they found missing is an easy and environmentally friendly sparkle on the go.
That was the start of Bottle+ in summer 2020 and they have been working on this mission ever since to make sparkling water available anytime & anywhere, without single-use plastics. As a team, they share this passion while combining complementary skills and experiences in sustainability consulting, mechanical engineering, product design, and consumer goods to bring Bottle+ to life for you.
