Jet Green is the new Elite water bottle with a body made from plant-based bioplastic derived from sugarcane. This bio-based bottle is just one of many projects undertaken by Elite to make the production cycles of its cycling product catalog as sustainable as possible. Jet Green is a comfortable, reusable, high-performance water bottle with a green soul thanks to its bioplastic body. The bioplastic obtained from sugarcane is defined as bio-based plastic because it is not derived from petroleum, but from organic plant sources. In our case, sugarcane. The bio-based ethanol used for the Jet Green bottle body can be an excellent substitute for petroleum in creating products capable of guaranteeing the same qualities as traditional plastic, but with a reduced environmental impact in terms of emissions. The goal of producing bio-plastic bottles is to achieve carbon neutral production, meaning capable of not only reducing but also offsetting CO2 emissions due to the oxygen contribution to the atmosphere from sugarcane cultivation. To understand the advantage in terms of emissions, consider the production of a thousand bottles. To produce a thousand Jet Green bottles starting from sugarcane, we managed to reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere by about 160 kilograms, which corresponds to about 3 kg of CO2 for every kilogram of plastic produced. This is also possible because the sugarcane used for Jet Green comes from sustainable cultivation, meaning not derived from deforestation. Thanks to its great reproductive qualities, sugarcane grows abundantly even in small cultivable spaces. In addition to the soft, squeezable bottle body material, the comfortable push-pull valve, easy to open and close with the mouth, also contributes to a perfect drink, ideal for competitive sports use.
- In addition to being more eco-friendly than traditional plastic bottles, Jet Green is also comfortable to use on the go while you're on your bike.
- The bottle cap features the same technology used for the Fly bottles to ensure a rapid and abundant stream of water during hydration moments on the bike.
- The quick-twist opening makes it easier to wash and dry the bottle after each use.
