At a time when we need to be cautious about using plastic, how do we encourage the use of other types of water bottles? Perhaps by making them a ‘must-have’ item?

The Chameleon project could help. Using colour change paint, the Chameleon reacts to cold temperature. Chameleon encourages people of all ages to drink more water and use less plastic and seems like a great idea, as we struggle against the plastic tide.

So now is the time to rethink the way you drink and perhaps  this fantastic new colour changing water bottle will encourage you to do so. The chameleon, set to become an iconic ‘must have’ in its own right is made using thermochromic ink which reacts to cold temperatures.

This is not only fun, and different, but the Chameleon allows you to see the fill level, so you’ll know exactly how full your bottle is without having to open it.

As the cold water activates the colour, empty sections of warmer air return to white colour. So you’ll also know just how cold your water is as the colour intensity gradually lightens as bottle gets warmer.

A great idea. But help is needed to kickstart the project.
