Each year, 500 billion plastic bottles are used in the world of which only 9% are recycled, which poses enormous environmental problems.
Downstream, remember that it takes 100 ml of
oil
and 2 liters of water to make a single plastic bottle!
Upstream, it's no secret, plastic has invaded the planet, ecosystems, our food and our water of course.
Investing in an ecological water bottle will allow you to:
- To reduce your environmental impact.
- To avoid
plastic particles
from disposable bottles.
- To make savings in the long term.
Admittedly, the price of quality ecological water bottles seems high at first glance, but tap water is 100 to 200 cheaper than bottled water!

How to choose your ecological water bottle?
- Choose a
material
that is 100% recyclable.
Stainless
steel (
called
stainless steel)
is popular
:
light, solid, odorless, it is easily recycled.
Glass is also
recyclable
, healthy, aesthetic, but heavy and fragile.
Finally, a thermoplastic like
Tritan
(or copolyester) is still interesting for its lightness, robustness and resistance.
- Opt for a healthy
bottle , without
endocrine disruptors
or
BPA,
and which does not give any taste or smell to the liquid.
- Prefer a
durable
and quality product.
In addition, favor European or French manufacturing.
However, most stainless steel water bottles from China, you will eventually have to arbitrate according to your priorities!
Finally, some
committed brands
donate part of their profits to environmental associations or offset their carbon footprint.
The practical aspects not to be overlooked
Of course, practical criteria should also guide your choice.
- First of all, it goes without saying that a water bottle must be
100%
waterproof.
-
Weight
is a very important criterion: glass is therefore heavier than stainless steel and Tritan.
Evaluate your needs and constraints carefully.
- For
sport
, if you practice running for example, choose a water bottle equipped with a
folding cap
attached to the bottle.
This way, you will drink more easily and you will avoid losing your cork.
- To carry a hot drink or have very cold water, turn to
insulated
bottles .
Non-insulated
water bottles
are however
cheaper and lighter.
Some are equipped with an
infuser
to make teas and herbal teas (see also other choices of bottles with infuser).
- For an original gift, offer a
personalized
water bottle .
