The Elite Jet Water Bottle 550ml is a new biodegradable model made in food-grade, BPA-free squeezable polyethylene. Pairing the best in quality and performance of the most appreciated Elite bottles such as lightness, copious liquid flow and a tasteless nozzle, alongside environmentally-friendly credentials, it is sure to be your go-to for easy hydration. The plastic material used to create the Jet is treated with a special bio additive that makes the microorganisms responsible for the biodegradation of materials attack the polymeric chain of the plastic. This process significantly reduces the time it takes for the bottle to break down (3 months to 5 years). This is something that regular plastic products cannot do (they usually take 100 to 1000 years to decompose).
