Besides helping the environment, reusable bottles come in all kinds of stylish options and different materials.
Some even have acelebrity following.
Of course, not all bottles are created equal.
Plastic reusable bottles offer a cost-effective, break-resistant option.
However, there is the concern that any plastic (even BPA-free) canimpact your health.
These bottles are also more resistant to mold and bacteria (perKool).
Glass water bottles last several years with proper care and cleaning(perSustainability Nook).
Obviously, a broken glass bottle sends a clear signal that it needs to be replaced.
According to bottle-manufacturerKool, a stainless steel bottle lasts 12 years on average.
Recycling your bottle may be as simple as placing it in a bin for curbside collection.
However, if it is stainless steel, you’ll need to seek out a scrap-metal yard.
If you have multiple steel bottles, consider upcycling and create a ring-toss game (perRecyclebank).
