The world is moving quickly toward eco-conscious lifestyles. One small significant change is the reduction of single-use plastic products and exchanging them instead for reusable products.
Stylish handy bottles, like the ones that Waaleco provides, is quickly becoming an essential item for people who would like to enjoy a convenient hydrated lifestyle while looking good at the same time.
But besides looking good and being convenient for the moment, reusable drinkware has many beneficial long-term elements for the environment, people, and their wallet.
In this article, we will discuss the reasons why reusable water bottles and drinkware are better than single-use plastics, and help you understand why switching to a sustainable bottle is one of the best lifestyle changes you can make.
The Hidden Cost of Single-Use Plastics
Every year billions of single-use plastics (containers for bottled water, cups for coffee, disposable straws) are being dumped in landfill and into our oceans. These plastic products are essentially made, used once and thrown away.
The process in which food disposal necessarily breaks down biodegradable matter is, of course, through decomposing. Plastic breaks down to microplastics, that is the only thing that is biodegradable for plastic, and becomes debris instead of waste. This poisoning of our ecosystems may lead to it entering the food chain.
Reports suggest about 8 million tons of plastic enter the ocean every year, which puts considerable strain on our oceans and marine life throughout the world. All while reusable bottles can save hundreds, if not thousands, of waste problems.
Why Reusable Bottles Are a Better Choice
While it may look insignificant to change your water consumption practices by changing to reusable bottles, those little changes add up when multiplied across billions of people. If every single person on this planet reduced their reliance on single-use plastic products by just 10%, think of the total amount of plastic removed from landfills!
Here are some benefits of owning a reusable bottle today:
1. Modern Designs
Reusable bottles today are more stylish, functional, and long-lasting. Waaleco bottles come in numerous stylish finishes, ergonomically shaped bottles, and durable, high-quality materials for daily use—at work, at the gym, or even while travelling.
2. Quality Materials
Reusable drinkware is made from stainless steel, BPA-free plastics, or glass, which are tough materials that are safe and won’t break, and can also maintain the temperature of drinks for hours. If you want your morning coffee hot, or your iced water cold all day, our reusable bottle has been thoroughly tested and has no competition to single-use.
Save More by Spending Less
At first, the inexpensive price of a single-serve bottled water may seem attractive to purchase, but those costs will add up quickly.
For example, you may decide to purchase just one £2 bottle of water during every work day, which comes out to over £500 a year! Instead, purchasing a quality reusable bottle will pay itself off in a matter of weeks.
With a Waaleco re-usable handy bottle, you can refill from the tap or filtered water source, and save money. Over time, you will begin to save money, while eliminating waste.
Free from Harmful Chemicals
Many single-use plastic bottles have chemicals such as BPA (bisphenol A), which can leach into your beverage from heat. Chemicals and toxins in single-use bottles could potentially lead to significant health risks.
You don’t need to worry about toxins when you drink from our reusable bottles made from BPA-free materials. Waaleco is doing this with all of our bottles designed with our consumers’ health in mind.
Encouraging Daily Hydration
Having a stylish handy bottle will likely encourage you to drink more water. When hydration is easily accessible, you are more likely to meet your daily water intake goals, which will help improve your energy levels, skin health, and general wellness.
The Convenience of Handy Bottles
People tend to rely on disposable water bottles primarily for convenience. Fortunately, reusable bottles can be just as—if not more—convenient. Many bottles include features like:
- Leak proof lids
- Insulated walls
- Lightweight construction
A convenient reusable drinkware is ideal for:
- Commuting (Work or School)
- Gym or Outdoor Activities
- Long trips or hikes
- Hydrating at your desk
Simple Ways to Maximize Your Reusable Bottle
Waaleco’s bottles are made for backpacks, cup holders, or handbags—which means, anytime is the right time to use our bottle. So, how do you maximize the use of these bottles?
- Clean it: Clean with warm water and a mild soap daily to prevent bacteria buildup.
