Cykle Water Bottle – The amazing Cykle water bottle was created by Everett Washington teen Jordan Steeves as part of his high school senior project.
The Cykle water 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 water 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.
We are thinking 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, which of course, plastic is derived from.
And that’s the latest chatter about the hybrid Cykle Water Bottle.

Hey, ever heard of Tetrapak? Ya, same exact thing. Been around for years.

No, tetra paks can not be recycled at your average recycling center. Check their website, you have to go to special locations and they are far from everywhere. This is such an improvement really.

Im interested in buying and getting down this product to the Maldives, where i think it would be really good for this little small island which is surrounded by water and most of it with many plastic bottles in it.

This product has already been in the market for some time. The kid copied the designed and marketed it as his own. This is an outright fraud and his kid should be disciplined, not encouraged.

I may be interested in investing in your product. I work in water treatment so how things like plastic bottles hurt the environment.Please send me information when possible.
Thanks

The dipshit now says he “in no way claimed to invent or develop the carton used to package Cykle, which is a Tetra Pak technology…” No word on if he still gets to keep the $5000.
