Why You Should Carry a Reusable Water Bottle

Why You Should Carry a
Reusable Water Bottle?
Glass Can Be Recycled


Unlike plastic, glass is made from
all-natural,
sustainable
raw
materials (mostly sand), and it
doesn’t degrade over time. Even
better? Glass is 100% recyclable,
and it can be recycled again…
and again… and again, without
losing any quality or purity.
According to the EPA, making
new glass from recycled glass is
typically cheaper than using raw
materials.
Chemical-Free


Glass is the only packaging
material that the U.S. Food and
Drug
Administration
typically
regards as safe. Unlike many
plastics, glass doesn’t have any
harmful chemicals with scary,
unpronounceable names, like BPA,
phthalate, PVC, or polycarbonate.
Plastics made from polycarbonate
resin can leak BPA into the
contents of the container (quick
refresher: studies suggest BPA
could have harmful effects on
reproductive organs, especially in
infants and toddlers).
Easy to Clean


Instead
of
wasting
water
thoroughly hand-washing your
glass water bottle, it’s safe to
throw into the dishwasher with all
the other dishes you need to
wash.
Seems like a small impact, but
this bulk-wash move saves water
and is more environmentallyfriendly than separately handwashing your water bottle.
Saves Money


Buying bottled water costs
add up quickly, while tap
water costs mere pennies.
You don't have to open your
wallet just to satisfy your
thirst if you have your trusty
eco friendly water bottle
within arm's reach.
If you frequently purchase
bottles of water, you could
save about $1,000 a year.
