1. An insulated bottle for you wallet

By opting for a reusable bottle, you will significantly reduce your plastic waste. 5 National geographic facts over plastic you should know [1]:

5000 billion pieces of plastic are already floating in our oceans.
More than 40% of plastic is used only once, before being thrown away.
Worldwide, nearly one million plastic bottles are sold every minute.
Estimates of the lifespan of plastic range from 450 years to infinity.
Worldwide, 73% of the waste on beaches is plastic: cigarette filters, bottles, corks, food packaging, polystyrene bags or bins.

Every gesture counts, don't wait to make yours!

2. An insulated bottle for your wallet

Opting for an insulated bottle also means saving money. Take a plastic Spa water bottle for example, you pay about €0.55 per liter of water [3]. Tap water costs € 0.0046 per liter of water.

If we do a quick calculation: you buy a 500 mL bottle If we do a quick calculation: you buy a 500mL bottle at 30 euros on KissPlanet and you drink 1.5 L per day (which is ideal). In a little more than 1 month, you have already paid off your stainless steel bottle.

3. An insulated bottle for your health

Some people decide, in order to protect the environment, to reuse their plastic bottle several times. Although it is a nice gesture, it does carry a health risk. Plastic bottles contain bisphenol A, also known as BPA [2].

Instead, opt for a reusable water bottle that is not only good for the environment, but will also not endanger your health. As a matter of fact, Bisphenol A is an endocrine disruptor. It is particularly dangerous for pregnant women and children.

Some manufacturers are replacing Bisphenol A with Bisphenol S, which would be more resistant to heat and would better protect food. However, scientists remain very skeptical about this alternative and its role on the endocrine system.

4. An insulated bottle to keep your water cool

In addition to being ecological, economical and good for your health, insulated water bottles keep your water cool. It is very pleasant when it is hot to have fresh water.

You'll stay hydrated throughout your day, no matter where you are. Insulated bottles are easy to carry.

If you are more of a hot drink fan, you can also use your insulated bottle for coffee, tea, hot chocolate, etc. A little advice, if you like coffee, buy a separate insulated bottle because the smell of coffee might stay in the bottle. Personally, I have a bottle for coffee and another one for water.

5. An insulated bottle to reveal your identity

The advantage with insulated bottles is that they come in all shapes and colors. You can choose the one that suits you best.

To conclude...

The advantages of reusable bottles have already seduced many, so why not you? If you are already convinced, do not hesitate to talk about it around you! It's a simple solution to adopt but it has many positive consequences on the environment and your health.
