When it comes to completely discarding the usage of plastic, we seem to be at a loss. Yes, we may encourage home gardens, eco-friendly bags and using recyclable products, but when it comes to plastic bottles, it continues to be around us at large. It was high time that someone gave us an alternative to plastic bottles and this Assamese entrepreneur must be credited for inventing air-tight bamboo water bottles.

As the plastic-ban campaigns fail when it comes to our day-to-day lives, Dhritiman Bora invented water bottles which are made up of bamboo, thus making it completely bio-degradable and natural. The bottles are leak-proof and you can easily carry them afar as the mouth of the bottles is tightened with cork!

Formerly from IIT and an entrepreneur, Dhritiman envisions of replacing the entire plastic industry and manufacturing units with that of eco-friendly bamboo and jute products. Another key point of these bottles is that since they are made up of bamboo shoots, you can enjoy a cool sip even during scorching summers. Currently, they are available in various shapes and sizes and the cost varies from Rs 400 to Rs 600.
