Aquagami - redefining disposable drinking water packaging for the airline industry

Aquagami是一种可折叠的一次性水瓶，由纸制成，使用折纸技术折叠。它最初的用途将是用于商业航空旅行行业，以取代在机场购买的塑料水瓶，并在飞机上的用餐时间提供。它既可回收又可堆肥。在一次长途飞行中，大约会产生600瓶废塑料。瓶子很少被分离和回收，因为机组人员时间不够，而且在下一轮乘客登机和下机的压力下。这种情况在每年365天每天成千上万的航班上重复发生，这还不包括短途航班，短途航班每位乘客至少有一瓶。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，要求他们逐步做出改变，使旅行旅程更少有害，更环保。你的旅行只持续了几个小时或几天，那么你用过的水瓶为什么要在接下来的400年里留在地球上呢？

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?
