They’re not designed to last, and while there are potential issues with reusable water bottles as well…but you’ve got to be careful to look into the materials used! Likewise, just from an environmental perspective, disposable water bottles might be reusable for months; but some bottles will last for many years when purchased.

Thanks for the comments!

Who needs a RFID in a water bottle? Disposable bottles CAN be reused in non-propeitary fountains and faucets. I often reuse them if there’s clean water to put into them. The only possible benefit of this system is the quality of the water might be higher? I can’t imagine the water is chilled in such a tiny little tube. Oh, and it looks fragile and propietary again.

There may be hope yet. I will not hold my breath though, however I shan’t accept defeat. For “He that would live in peace and ease, must not speak all he knows, nor judge all he sees.” – the words I live by. (Benjamin Franklin, from Poor Richard’s Almanac, Page 11, Statement Number 5)
