Go Green With Re-usable Water Bottles

With children back in school after the Summer Holidays, parents all over the UK have been busy kitting out their kids and the one thing which is a must buy is a re usable water bottle. With the current pandemic, it is extremely important for your child to have their own water bottle so that they are not sharing with another child and at the same time not using disposable bottles as we really do need to start thinking more about the impact this has on the environment.

 

Regardless of which water bottle you choose, make sure that you wash and sanitize it every day. Since bottles have a moist environment, they are the perfect ground for bacteria to thrive.

What Are The Options Available?

Stainless Steel Water Bottles
Stainless steel is a good choice, it doesn't contain the chemicals found in plastics that can cause health risks. Even if a stainless steel water bottle is scratched or dinted, it will still be safe to use.

Insulated Water Bottles
Made of stainless steel, insulated bottles are designed to be vacuum sealed and therefore can retain heat or cold temperatures no matter the temperatures of the surroundings. Most companies claim that their insulated bottles stay cold for 24 hours, making them ideal to use on hot days.

Hard Plastic Water Bottles

Hard plastic bottles are lightweight and durable making them great for taking outdoors. Available in a variety of colours, hard plastics are easy to clean and stand up to repeated use. 

Squeeze Water Bottles
Squeeze bottles are the most popular for team sports as they are durable and easy to grip. They do not offer insulation but are easy to carry.

Whatever your choice, you will be helping to keep your child safe and at the same time making an impact on trying to reduce on the mass of plastic waste added to our landfill sites every year.
