Cykle Bottle – The amazing Cykle bottle was created by Everett Washington teen Jordan Steeves as part of his high school senior project.
The Cykle bottle is a hybrid cardboard-plastic bottle designed to help control the growing numbers of plastic water bottles failing to make it into the recycling bin.
Jordan Steeves, 18, got the idea for the Cykle bottle from a comment made by his father about about how beautiful Miami beach was but that it was littered with plastic water bottles.
After failing with three prototypes, his fourth try resulted in the hybrid Cykle bottle that is made of 70% renewable cardboard, with the remaining 30% made of plastic lining inside and outside of the water bottle to keep the water in.
Jordan Steeves won a science project contest at WSU. He and his school were each awarded $5000. Steeves plans to use the money for college tuition where he plans to major in environmental science.
Action-News believes that one of the big bottling companies (Coca Cola, Pepsi, etc) will pick up the tuition tab for rights to a water bottle that is less harmful to the environment and is just one more step to decreasing US dependence on petroleum products from which plastic is derived.
And that’s the latest chatter about the hybrid Cykle Bottle.
