Travelling with a clear conscience

Every year about eight million kilos of plastic, including many plastic bottles, end up in our oceans. By way of illustration, this corresponds to a weight of about 160,000 massive sperm whales or one garbage truck per second. In our oceans plastic does not degrade, but disintegrates into micro- and nanoparticles. These tiny particles end up unintentionally on the menu of marine animals and - via these animals - ultimately on our plates. Very appetising! The reduction and re-use of plastic is necessary to get this environmental problem under control, and is also better for our wallets. 

Travel with a clear conscience is made possible by the trendy drinking bottles from Dopper. What would a world be like in which people were aware of the environment, in which we actively reduced the amount of disposable plastic waste and in which everyone, whether near or far away, had access to safe drinking water? In the five large oceans where this volume of plastic is concentrated, there is sometimes 36 times more plastic than plankton. Via marine animals and birds the plastic enters our food chain in minute particles. One million seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals die each year from plastic in our oceans. And oh yes, it takes one litre of water and one litre of oil to produce one plastic bottle. Dopper's credo "Drink tap water. Stop plastic pollution. Smile at strangers" has also become the motto of bahnshop.de.  With the Dopper drinking bottles Deutsche Bahn aims to make a statement at bahnshop.de in favour of sustainable travel, the avoidance of waste and the encounters that every journey brings with it.

Dopper is the sustainable drinking bottle for tap water. With this re-usable bottle, disposable bottles can be dispensed with and huge amounts of plastic waste can be saved. The unique design - developed by Rinke van Remortel - makes the Dopper easy to keep clean. The bottle can be dismantled into three parts and washed by hand or in the dishwasher (up to 65 degrees), and it will last for years - it's as durable as can be! By the way, the cap of the Dopper drinking bottle is an inverted cup. In other words, your tap water literally stands on a pedestal. The Dopper is produced in a carbon-neutral way, is BPA free and completely recyclable. An indispensable companion for journeys with a clear conscience, for sports or at work.

The Dopper bottle is available in 800 and 490 ml versions and optionally with an original cap or a sports cap. In addition, the Dopper carrier ensures that the drinking bottle is always to hand. The small gadget in its trendy urban design can be attached anywhere with the carabiner, for example to your trousers or backpack, and is therefore always within easy reach.

With Dopper you collect Karma points without limits: by using the sustainable drinking water bottle you stand side by side with Dopper in the fight against disposable plastic waste and for clean drinking water worldwide! 5% of the turnover goes to the Dopper Foundation. Among other good causes this foundation supports the "Drinking water, sewage disposal and better hygiene" initiative of Simavi, a charity organisation in Nepal. Although Nepal is home to the second-largest freshwater supply in the world in its rugged mountain peaks, ironically more than half of the country's population has no access to safe drinking water. Glacier water flows from high above downwards, but by no means reaches all Nepalese and is also polluted by rubbish dumps. Every year, 10,000 children under the age of five die of water-related diseases.
