Hydrating is important. And do it in the best way too.
In this article, we want to celebrate using stainless steel bottles and remember why it is the most sustainable and healthy option.
- Stainless steel bottles are sustainable.
Taking care of this beautiful planet is one of the great reasons to use a stainless-steel bottle.
One study calculated that only approximately 10% of the plastic used is recycled, and that of this ten, only 50% is recycled, the other 50 ending up in landfills where it takes up to 1000 years to biodegrade.
Drinking water from a steel bottle significantly reduces this sad picture.
- You avoid contact with BPA.
Although in some countries such as Canada or the United States, the use of BPA in all products for human consumption has been prohibited, in Spain, the prohibition of said substance has been eliminated in the Waste Law.
BPA (bisphenol) is a chemical compound used to harden plastic in many plastic containers, and studies have shown it to have serious consequences for human and environmental health.
Using reusable and non-plastic bottles reduces contact with this chemical and its circulation on the planet.
- Contains no other harmful chemicals
Apart from bisphenol, you also have to keep an eye open for other toxic substances used in manufacturing plastic. And not only in single-use containers, but some reusable plastic bottles may contain harmful elements that are released over time or at high temperatures and are ingested.
- Free of mold and bacteria
Another advantage of using a 40 oz stainless steel water bottle is that it does not corrode or rust. Its material is hermetic, unlike plastic, which is porous and can be scratched, hiding traces of bacteria or mold.
- Steel bottles leave less of a footprint.
Another reason why it is sustainable is that the production and sale of bottled water produces a lot of polluting energy and also requires three times the amount of water in each bottle.
- They do not retain taste or odor.
Has it ever happened to you that you drink water from a bottle, and it tastes like something else you had before?
As it is non-porous, the steel bottle material does not retain taste or smell, and you can rest assured that if you ever put coffee or tea in it, it will not smell like that forever.
Also, another advantage of good stainless-steel bottles is that they can be put in the dishwasher.
- Keep your drink hot or cold.
Forget drinking hot water when you're dying of thirst.
Unlike plastic or glass containers, stainless steel is a thermal insulator, so cold water will stay that way for hours!
- It is durable and cheaper.
Having to buy a bottle of water every time you're thirsty adds to your expenses.
You can use the same steel bottle for years because it is made of a very resistant material that does not break.
Of course, it will be time to change it when you notice that it has a taste or smell that does not go away or when the plastic part of the mouth begins to crack.
- Easy to transport
In addition to being very light, the mouthpiece part usually hashas a ring or hook that offers multiple advantages when carrying it with you, either by hand or hanging it from your bag or backpack.
Your steel bottle goes with you everywhere, and you will always know that it is yours because it is unique ;)
- Hydrate to tastes and colors!
Drinking water has become a more personalized experience, and now this type of bottle has all kinds of designs, colors, and details.
For example, what's more, aligned than drinking water from a plastic-free bottle with a sacred geometry design and a bamboo lid?
Look at our stainless steel water bottle; they're a beauty!
