Guilt-Free Hydration ᵗᵐ
Now New and Improved!
Stay hydrated and stay guilt-free with Whatrr! We took the bamboo and sugarcane bottle off the bottle so that you could save on price while still using a biodegradable bottle, as our bottle still biodegrades in 7 years vs 700 years for other bottles.
Our biodegradable bottle is filled with refreshing spring water, providing you with the perfect balance of hydration and sustainability. Keep yourself and the planet happy with each sip.

FAQ
Ideally all plastic used would be recycled. But it's not, 80%+ of all single use bottles end up in the landfill. And they last for 800 years, our great great great grandkids will still have the plastic we use today.
Whatrr solved this with Natural American Spring Water packaged in a landfill biodegradable bottle.
Landfill biodegradation is when plastic (or any other material) degrades from the action of naturally occurring microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi and algae as found in all landfills. Biodegradation can occur in either aerobic (with oxygen) or anaerobic (without oxygen) environments.
On our mission to restore Mother Earth, this bottle is surely a taste of victory.
Renewable bamboo and sugarcane pulp makes up the outer shell, and a biodegradable plastic barrier makes up the inner bottle.
Proprietary mixtures in the bottle accelerate the natural biodegradation of the inner green barrier in biologically active landfills and anaerobic digesters as validated by independent certified laboratories using ASTM International test methods. Independent third-party testing has shown up to 59.3% biodegradation in just 365 days in landfill replicated testing, and 85.5% biodegradation in 3.5 years. (ASTM D5511).
TLDR, more than half is gone in a year and it's a good assumption to guess between 3-5 years.
Roll the R's until the wheels fall off.
1. Landfill biodegradable bottle
2. Great tasting spring water
3. Refillable bottle
4. Insulating bottle
5. Protected inner bottle from UV and heat, which protects against micro-plastics
The outer shell of bamboo and sugarcane helps speed up the biodegradation process in a landfill by drawing microorganisms in close proximity to the biodegradable plastic barrier.
The barrier also provides structural integrity for the bottle so we can use less barrier material.
That said, we've decided to remove the outer shell to help you save on cost while still being biodegradable.

We use an additive in our barrier material to accelerate the natural degradation of plastic in landfill environments. The additive is FDA compliant and safe for food contact.
Up to 400 days. It only starts breaking down under the heat and pressure of a landfill.
