CHICAGO, IL – August 11, 2026 – As families head back into the busy routines of school, sports and work, reusable water bottles and food containers are once again piling up in kitchens—but one problem remains: how to dry them.
From water bottles and silicone storage bags to baby bottles, food containers and hydration packs, consumers are increasingly choosing reuse over single-use plastics. But as the number of reusable products in the kitchen grows, so does the challenge of drying them quickly and completely.
Enter the Brisa Rack, a new small-appliance category created by Brisa Systems to make maintaining reusable products easier, faster and more complete.
Designed specifically for the products people use every day, the Brisa Rack uses heated-air technology and customizable drying cycles to dry reusable containers quickly and thoroughly, helping remove the residual moisture that can remain after washing.
“People have embraced reusable products, but the maintenance hasn’t really evolved,” said Trish Oswald, founder of Brisa Systems. “We’ve created products that help us reduce single-use plastics, but we’re still balancing bottles on countertops, hanging bags over faucets and waiting for everything to drip dry. The Brisa Rack was designed to solve that very simple—but very real—problem.”
Unlike bulky traditional drying racks and soggy drying mats, the Brisa Rack features a sleek, modern design built specifically for reusable food and beverage containers. Its compact footprint and purpose-built drying posts keep multiple items elevated, allowing air to circulate inside and around them.
The need is growing. The average American family owns well more than a dozen reusable water bottles, while reusable silicone bags and food-storage products continue to gain popularity. Yet many reusable products can be notoriously difficult to dry because of narrow openings, flexible materials and hard-to-reach interiors.
The Brisa Rack is designed to handle a wide variety of reusable products, including water bottles, silicone bags, food containers, baby bottles, wine decanters, hydration bladders and the handheld bottles used by runners and endurance athletes.
The concept has already attracted recognition, including a Chicago Innovation Award nomination. The product has also been selling direct-to-consumer for more than a year, giving Brisa Systems firsthand insight into how consumers use—and struggle to maintain—their growing collection of reusable products.
“It’s not rocket science,” Oswald said. “It’s a simple solution to a problem almost everyone who uses reusables understands. If we want people to choose reuse, we should make reuse easier.”
As single-use plastics are increasingly being phased out, restricted or reconsidered by consumers, businesses and governments, the next challenge is making reusable products convenient enough to become a lasting habit. Brisa Systems believes easier maintenance is a key part of that equation.
