Zym biodegradable water bottle

Zym, maker of portable electrolyte tablets, has released a 100% biodegradable water bottle.

Made by adding a ‘bio-batch’ material to the water bottle during the manufacturing process Zym claim the water bottle simply decomposes during about 1 to 5 years. If you’re fond of copying the pros and lobbing your bottles away when they’re empty, this is the bottle for you.

As Simon Page from UK distributors Lambda Sports says: “I take the view that cycling should be an environmentally friendly pursuit, and hate seeing all the rubbish that people drop, like gel wrappers and bottles. When you see the Tour riders just chucking everything away it seems a mess. At least now the bottle can go and feed the ground, and not end up like so much swirling around in the Pacific gyre.”

Sounds fair enough to us. You can buy them online at www.cyclingParadise.com for £5 each.
