 ADVANTAGES :
• Convenience: Water bottles offer convenience by allowing people to carry water
or other beverages with them wherever they go, whether at work, school, or while
travelling.
• Hydration: Having a water bottle encourages regular hydration, which is essential
for overall health, maintaining energy levels, and cognitive function.
• Portability: Water bottles are portable and come in various sizes, making it easy
to carry the right amount of water for different activities without relying on single-
use plastic bottles.
• Cost-Effective: Investing in a reusable water bottle is cost-effective in the long
run compared to purchasing bottled water repeatedly. It reduces expenses and
contributes to sustainability.
• Environmental Impact: Reusable water bottles reduce plastic waste and the
carbon footprint associated with manufacturing and transporting single-use
bottles, thus benefiting the environment.
 DIS ADVANTAGES :
• Maintenance: Water bottles require regular cleaning and maintenance to
prevent bacteria buildup, especially if not cleaned properly, leading to health
risks.
• Durability: While many reusable water bottles are durable, some materials may
be prone to dents, scratches, or breakage if mishandled, impacting their
lifespan.
• Weight: Depending on the material and size, water bottles can add weight to
bags or backpacks, which may be inconvenient for individuals who prioritize
lightweight travel.
• Temperature Control: Not all water bottles offer effective insulation to maintain
the temperature of cold or hot beverages, which can be a drawback for users
looking for this feature.
• Taste and Odor Retention: Certain materials used in water bottles may retain
tastes or odours from previous beverages, affecting the taste of water or other
liquids stored in them.
• Initial Cost: Some high-quality reusable water bottles can have a higher initial
cost compared to disposable plastic bottles, which may deter budget-conscious
CREO MODEL :

with intended use (e.g., BPA-free plastics, stainless steel, glass).
2. Conduct material testing to ensure they meet safety and quality standards.
• CAD Modeling and Prototyping:
1. Create detailed 3D CAD models of the water bottle design, considering dimensions, features,
and assembly requirements.
2. Develop prototypes for testing and validation, allowing for adjustments and improvements
before mass production.
• Material Quality:
1. Source high-quality materials that are safe for food contact and comply with
regulatory standards (e.g., FDA-approved plastics, food-grade stainless steel,
borosilicate glass).
2. Conduct material testing for durability, chemical resistance, and leaching potential to
ensure the bottle maintains integrity and does not affect beverage quality.

VARIOUS MATERIALS USED FOR WATER
BOTTLES :
• Plastic:
1. Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET): PET is a lightweight, durable, and transparent plastic commonly used
for disposable water bottles. It is recyclable and widely available.
2. High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE): HDPE is a sturdier plastic that is often used for reusable water
bottles. It is BPA-free, recyclable, and resistant to impact and chemicals.
3. Polycarbonate (PC): PC was previously used in water bottles but has become less common due to
concerns about BPA leaching. BPA-free PC alternatives are available.
• Stainless Steel:
1. Stainless steel water bottles are durable, non-reactive, and retain temperature well (both hot and cold
liquids). They are often insulated to maintain beverage temperature for extended periods.
2. Stainless steel is also BPA-free and does not impart flavours or odours to the beverages.
• Glass:
1. Glass water bottles are non-porous, free from chemicals like BPA, and do not alter the taste of beverages.
They are environmentally friendly and recyclable.
2. However, glass bottles are more fragile and heavier than plastic or stainless steel, making them less ideal
for certain activities or environments.
• Aluminum:
1. Aluminum water bottles are lightweight, durable, and recyclable. They are often used for sports or outdoor
activities due to their portability.
2. Some aluminium bottles are lined with a protective coating to prevent flavour transfer and corrosion.
• Copper:
• Copper water bottles have gained popularity due to perceived health benefits associated with
copper ions in water. They are believed to have antimicrobial properties.
• However, proper cleaning and maintenance are crucial to prevent tarnishing and ensure
hygiene.
• Silicone:
• Silicone is often used for collapsible or flexible water bottles. It is lightweight, BPA-free, and
can withstand extreme temperatures.
• Silicone bottles are convenient for travel and storage but may not be as durable as rigid
materials.
• Biodegradable and Plant-Based Plastics:
• There are eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plastics made from biodegradable materials
or plant-based polymers (e.g., PLA - polylactic acid). These materials aim to reduce
environmental impact and are compostable under specific conditions.

COST: approximately 2 16.9 fl oz water bottles in 1 liter.
