The Ocean Bottle app makes it super easy to help the planet while keeping yourself hydrated! Every time you log a refill, Ocean Bottle funds the collection of 5 plastic bottles that would’ve otherwise ended up in the ocean—at no cost to you!
How the Ocean Bottle App Works:
Create an Account:
Pick a unique username, password, and profile image to kickstart your plastic-collecting adventure!
Add Your Ocean Bottle:
Scan the bottom of your bottle (where the NFC chip is) with your phone, then select your bottle's size and colour. It’s like giving your bottle its own identity!
Log Every Refill:
Whether at home or on the go, tap the "Refill Bottle" button and scan your bottle to record each refill.
See Where You’re Making Waves:
After you log a refill, Ocean Bottle funds the collection of 5 plastic bottles at one of our collection centers. You’ll get to see exactly where your impact is happening across the globe!
Track Your Plastic-Collecting Journey:
Check back on your refills to find out where, when, and what kind of plastic is being collected—all thanks to you!
Stay Hydrated with Reminders:
Turn on notifications so we can give you a nudge when it’s time to drink up (and track your plastic-saving progress along the way!).
Sync with Your Health App:
For an extra boost, you can link the app to your Health app. This way, your phone can help you stay on top of your hydration goals!
Environmental Impact:
By purchasing an Ocean Bottle, you've already helped prevent 11.4kg of ocean-bound plastic (about 1,000 plastic bottles!) from entering the ocean, and with the app, you can keep boosting this impact! We work with amazing partners like Plastic Bank, Plastics for Change, and Repurpose Global to ensure all types of plastic are collected and processed in the most efficient, socially responsible way possible.
Why do we do it? Because together, we can change the tide on plastic pollution.
Join the Ocean Bottle Community:
Join over 20,000 people who’ve already helped stop plastic from polluting our oceans. Let’s make an even bigger splash together!

Yes you can track how many bottle you have refilled but the steps are a little counterintuitive. I would suggest the main page being only your water bottle and place to scan and more info on water drank. New tab for community goals etc. shop tab is fine, I get that. I would also recommend adding a widget to activate the NFC scanner faster. I have to open the app look for the little button and push “Scan to Refill”. I have seen on other reviews suggestions for a watch app for the NFC scanner. I would rate higher if these things get added. Our whole company has these bottles now so we want to use them.

The bottle is pretty useless
Ars660
I have to agree with the other reviews. It’s a great concept but as others mentioned after 10 days the app stops documenting your water intake. Seems pretty counterproductive if the whole point of the bottle is to document your intake. It has gotten me to drink way more water which is nice but I can do that with a regular water bottle. This bottle is pretty pointless and the fact that this glitch hasn’t been fixed after multiple reports speaks volumes about the company.

Would be better if it had a watch app, too
Deluge01
Does a good job of what it advertises. Would be more convenient with a watch app.

Cool Way to Help Environment

Despite complaints about issues with scanning, I haven’t had any problems. Important to note there is also an option to tap within app to record refills. Love the color and ease of cleaning!!
