The oceans are in crisis and if you are interested in taking an active role in preventing extra waste from non-reusable plastic bottles, you should strongly consider picking up a reusable water bottle. These types of bottles can be easily sanitized and then reused to carry water and to prevent extra trash from ending up in landfills or in our oceans.
Rather than tossing away every water bottle that you use, you can have a water bottle that’s always available with clean drinking water at any time that it may be required. There are some benefits and drawbacks to choosing plastic or metal water bottles depending on your preference.
All around 7% of plastic water bottles can be reused and recycled. Even a reusable water bottle that can be cleaned out and then reused can be a cause for concern as they can eventually runs through the course of their life span.
Steel water bottles can be much more efficient especially for reuse. I stainless steel water bottle with a well-made brand can be reused over a long time. This can ensure that it is simple to reuse these bottles when they have run through the course of their life span. Water bottle companies that use aluminum however do require a plastic liner. What this often entails is creating an internal plastic bottle that cannot be reused. Aluminum water bottles are not a way to improve conservation therefore.
Stainless steel water bottles can be an excellent alternative. Stainless steel can be cleaned quite easily and these water bottles don’t contain the same amount of order or bacteria that’s left behind from a typical plastic water bottle or other types of water bottles.
As one stainless steel water bottle could easily last over 12 years this could prevent the use of over 167 disposable water bottles per person across America each year. This equates to nearly 1500 water bottles being used each second just in America alone. If people were willing to utilize stainless steel water bottles instead, this could prevent countless bottles ending up in landfills or in our oceans.
