Why Use Reusable Drink Bottles?
You may be asking why you should buy a quality reusable drink bottle, so we’ve put together 5 good reasons!
The Planet.
Over 1 million single-use plastic bottles are purchased around the world every minute, that's over 526 billion bottles every year! And although most are recyclable, the majority of these end up in landfills or the natural environment negatively affecting our wildlife, land and oceans.
Nearly half of bottled waters come from municipal water supplies — not from the mountain streams pictured on the labels.
Consumption of Non-Renewable Resources.
The production of single-use plastic bottles requires the consumption of a significant amount of non-renewable resources to produce. According to the Pacific Institute, “it took approximately 17 million barrels of oil equivalent to produce plastic for bottled water consumed by Americans in 2006—enough energy to fuel more than 1 million American cars and light trucks for a year.” And this consumption is only getting worse as the demand for bottled water rises.
The Healthier Choice.
BPA (or Bisphenol A) is used in the production of many single-use plastic bottles and has been linked to an array of harmful effects to our bodies, particularly interfering with the production and function of our natural hormones. Using a BPA free bottle like boland bottles removes exposure to this or any other potentially harmful chemicals involved in the production of single-use plastic drink bottles.
Cost Efficiency.
Water, coffee, tea, juice, kombucha (you name it!) is a fraction of the cost when made / refilled at home. For example, tap water is up to 2000x cheaper than buying bottled water!*
*Based on a home water rate of $1.555 / 1000L, paying up to $3.11 per bottle of water.
Temperature Perfect.
Boland bottles are triple-wall insulated to keep your drinks the perfect temperature for up to 24 hours! Keep a drink ice cold while you're enjoying a beautiful hot summer day, or toasty warm on a cold winter's day.
