Aquagami - redefining disposable drinking water packaging for the airline industry

Aquagami是一个可折叠的，一次性使用的水瓶制成的纸，折叠使用折纸技术。它的最初用途是用于商业航空旅行业，以取代在机场购买并在飞机上用餐时提供的塑料水瓶。在一次长途飞行中，大约会产生600瓶废塑料。瓶子很少被隔离和回收，因为机组人员时间紧迫，并且面临着下一轮乘客的下车和上车压力。这种情况每天在数千个航班上重复，一年365天，这甚至不考虑短途航班，其中每个航班至少为每位乘客提供一瓶。这导致每年产生大量的塑料垃圾。随着航空旅行的预期增长，同时，我们的星球正面临着极端的气候危机，航空公司正面临着压力，要求他们做出改变，使旅行旅程更少有害，更绿色。你的旅行旅程只持续了几个小时或几天，那么为什么你用过的水瓶要在未来400年内留在地球上呢？

Aquagami is a collapsible, single use water bottle made of paper, folded using origami techniques. It's initial use case would be for the commercial air travel industry, to replace plastic water bottles bought at airports and provided at mealtimes on-board an aircraft. It is both recyclable and compostable.On a single long haul flight, approximately 600 bottles of waste plastic is produced. Bottles are rarely segregated and recycled as cabin crew are short of time, and are under pressure to off-board and on-board the next round of passengers. This situation is repeated on thousands of flights each day, 365 days a year, and this is not even taking into account short haul flights, where at least 1 bottle is served per passenger per flight. This results in enormous tonnes of plastic waste per year.With an expected rise in air travel, and simultaneously, the extreme climate crisis our planet is facing, pressure is being placed on airlines to make step changes in making the travel journey less harmful, and more green.Your travel journey only lasted a few hours or days, so why should your used water bottles remain on the planet for the next 400 years?
