Drinking plenty of fluids every day is important for the entire organism. Being able to enjoy water from one’s own drinking bottle not only on the go but also at work means a high level of convenience. The innovative design of the Philips GoZero Smart drinking bottle solves the problem that water filled into drinking bottles often tastes stale after a while and even gets smelly. The cap of this drinking bottle features built-in UV-C LED technology that eliminates up to 99.999 per cent of bacteria. This makes the bottle work like a portable water purifier that kills odour-causing bacteria in the water. The UV-C LED light is automatically activated every two hours. The lithium battery also integrated into the cap lasts up to one month and can be easily recharged via a magnetic USB cable. This keeps the water in the drinking bottle always fresh and pure tasting. Users can thus enjoy their own water confidently at any time and without creating waste by using disposable single-use plastic bottles. Showcasing a timeless design language, the drinking bottle looks elegant and is made of high-quality materials including stainless steel. In addition, the special powder coating on the outside gives it comfortable grip and touch. The extra wide rubber handle makes it a stylish accessory that is easy to carry around anywhere.
Statement by the Jury
Intelligent functionality is what lends this drinking bottle its special quality. The UV-C LED technology integrated into its cap keeps the water fresh for a long time and prevents smells that otherwise commonly develop. Its design thus makes an important contribution to more sustainability, as it does away with the use of disposable plastic bottles. The shape of the bottle looks clear and elegant and thus easily adapts to the lifestyles of its users.
