DU'G
DU'G is a concept to make people use tap water instead of bottle water. Instead of buying a bottle with water from a spring somewhere in the world, you buy an empty bottle and fill it up right away with fresh tap water.
People are already saving and reusing the PET plastic bottles from the bottled water, several times before throwing out. But these bottles are made one use only and are hard to clean - and with time release phthalater into the water.
With the DU'G bottle you save it and reuse over and over again. The bottom cap can be screwed off and the bottle is easily cleaned. Instead of PET plastic, which is made of oil, this bottle is made of PLA - poly lactic acid, which is biodegradable and made of corn starch or sugar canes. It is thicker and thereby stronger.

You buy the bottle from a vending machines, which should be places in malls, train station, gas station, public areas ect., places where are when they realize that they need or want water.
The same vending machine will be used for refill. So now that you already have a bottle, you simple refill it from a vending machine or any tap for that matter.
Now not many countries has the same clean and drinkable tap water as you can find in the Scandinavian countries. Therefore is the vending machine provided with a simple cleaning filter.
