Who: Kor; Fountain Valley, CA
What: “Thirst for Giving” Special Edition Vessels
Where: Kor – $35 (See also the KOR ONE BPA Free Hydration Vessel
Why We Love It: We first spotted the Kors Hydration Vessel at the Green Pavilion of the Architectural Digest Home show last year. Huge fans of the bright colors, the slick cylindrical shape and the innovative flip-top cap hinged to stay in place – no more running around the house in search of our missing screw top caps. The wide-mouthed top also fits ice cubes quite nicely so you can enjoy cool beverages. Another nice feature, for klutzs like ourselves, is the grippy bottom to help avoid inadvertent spills. This is a good sized water bottle, much taller than standard models on the market, but the cylindrical shape fits nicely in the plam of your hand (even our small hands!)
$5 from the sale of each Special Edition vessels is donated to Thirst for Giving. Each bottles feature a unique nature-inspired motif that reflects the four non-profit organizations that the Thirst for Giving program supports – The Algalita Marine Research Foundation, Blue Planet Run, The Container Recycling Institute and The Wetlands Initiative.
The ‘hydration vessels’ are made of Tritan, a BPA-free plastic that is odor-free, dishwasher safe and 100% recyclable, but since is technically a #7 plastic it is not easily recycled. Kors plans to implement their own take-back recycling program to reclaim the bottles at the end of use.
