The Hydaway is a collapsible and reusable water bottle for the iPod generation that aims to reduce the 50 billion plastic water bottles discarded each year in America alone. The brightly-coloured accessory makes an interesting alternative to a conventional bicycle bidon, too.
The Hydaway water bottle is intended to be filled from the tap – a source that is cheaper, environmentally-friendlier and more rigorously tested than water bought from a shop.
When empty it collapses into a small disc that that can be stored easily.
As well as a convenient way to stay hydrated, the Hydaway is a clever way to bypass airport restrictions on water bottles; when you get to the security check, simply finish any water, fold the Hydaway into a thin disc, and slide it into your pocket. Once you have passed through security, pop open the Hydaway and replenish it from the nearest water fountain. Find out more about the Hydaway bottle via Kickstarter or enter our prize draw to win one.

This is great, ideal for walkers whom have no bag, or for scouts needing a space saver. I could use it when I do race for life less to carry.

Hi – how do you clean this bottle? Rinsing will be fine at first but after a while there’s bound to be a build-up of grunge.

Nearly as good as an Ohyo!

I’m 80 years old and walk with two sticks. I’d find such a bottle invaluable. And how wasteful to throw away so many bottles.

Seen similar before, but this hits the snazzy styling that we all love. Thanks!

WELL, Hello. Pity these aren’t available to buy – or even to see – in this country. All the best Kickstart deals have gone! Just have to hope that they cross the Atlantic soon – message in a bottle?

“For the iPod generation”…..?!? My parents had such a thing in the 1930s.
Peter Kinsella’s post above has the right idea.

A great idea, anything to reduce the amount of plastic bottles that get dumped

Hello, This is great and saves the planet by not buying all those disposable plastic bottles. I would love a purple one!
Rhoda Wolf
Brilliant idea
Alastair
Use to use a plastic one about 60 years ago. Fine, till it collapsed with stuff still in it. This one looks way better.

Seems to be a great idea to me. Just been to the US and now know how often it’s virtually impossible to recycle things, even something as often used as a water bottle. Need to get them using these and filling them with tap water!
Katherine De Riera
What a super idea! Thank you for the chance to win one too!
Bob
This seems to be a great idea. Just been to the US and now know how difficult it often is to recycle anything, even something as often used as a water bottle. We need to get them using these ‘bottles for life’. and refilling them with tap water.

Perfect to squish down into my handbag when I’m on the move and will easily attach to my backpack when I’m out cycling. No BPAs and it can be popped in the dishwasher for a good ol’ clean. So, super portable, no nasties, no work for me – love it!!

This is a fantastic idea! People love re-using things (saves money as well as the planet) but often don’t like carting around empty items. Squashing a bottle into something as small as this to put in a bag (or large pocket) is great!
