Corntainer Filtered Water Bottle

These brilliant little contraptions are filtered water bottles made from corn resin instead of plastic and petroleum. They contain carbon filters so that you can fill your bottle anywhere you go and end up with clean tasting water. You no longer have to buy a plastic bottle at the zoo when your carry-along bottle runs out. It is perfect for bikers or joggers who may run out of water along the way.

They are compostable, and will degrade in a commercial compost in 80 days. The corn is grown in the USA, and all the money spent to purchase the bottles stays in the USA. The corn polymer is also greenhouse gas neutral. 

These bottles are also reusable. How can they be reusable when they are compostable you ask? Well, compostable is different from biodegradable in that a compostable item needs heat and moisture to degrade, where as biodegradable items, such as fruits and vegetables, will rot and decompose even in your fridge. That being said, should you leave the bottle in your car on an extremely hot day, it could warp.
