We need to stay hydrated daily and drink at least two liters of water regularly, but do you know that each drinking will happen once per plastic water bottle bought? Reusing the plastic bottles that we find in food stores is not a good idea since they contain chemical components harmful to health, such as bisphenol A (BPA).

 

BPA is a chemical component that some plastics carry and that, under certain conditions, migrates into food or beverages. Different studies speak of the danger of this component so difficult to eliminate that it accumulates in the body.

Also, if we choose to buy small water bottles, we usually contribute to an ecological disaster. We must know that 1.5 million tons of plastic waste are produced per year in the United States alone, which requires about 178 million liters of oil to manufacture. And all so that most end up accumulated in landfills or the sea. To all this, we must add that plastic is not biodegradable.

Best Refillable Water Materials  

The war on plastics has started, and many cities have already decided to withdraw plastic bottled water from sale. Clear examples of this are  Europe, San Francisco, Hong Kong, or Montreal. These types of bans will necessarily increase over the years, and more cities and countries worldwide will say NO to plastic.

If you want to contribute to the environment and also to your health, it is time that you decide to buy a reusable bottle. Before this purchase and without knowing about chemical components such as BPA, you are presented with the question: What material should my reusable water bottle be? Read below:

Glass

 

Glass is a good material for water bottle design because it does not react with food or drink. Glass is transparent, refillable, rec, and easily cleaned. Also, contents put inside a glass water bottle will not have any foreign taste or flavor. 

The problem may be its weight and fragility. For this, Vi Lusso incorporates a very comfortable cover to carry, making it resistant and perfect for daily life, travel, or sports. Also, note that silicone doesn’t contain BPA and insulates from heat (a feature in Vi Lusso refillable water bottles).

BPA Free Plastic

 

Bisphenol A or BPA is a chemical compound used to synthesize polycarbonate and resins, with which food containers, canteens, glues, and varnishes are made. BPA is an endocrine disruptor (a compound that acts as a hormone) that affects the human reproductive system.

But we must know that not all plastic contains BPA. There are many models of plastic bottles without this chemical compound on the market. This water bottle material is a good choice for parents with young children who need a sturdy, shockproof bottle.

Silicone

 

If your problem is space in the gym bag or your luggage to go on a trip, you should choose a silicone bottle or a borosilicate glass bottle like the image above from Vi Lusso. Sturdy and comfortable to drink, it suits entirely for travel and can also be worn as a wrist strap for sports.

Plus, it’s tough enough to survive drops thanks to its flexible, unbreakable body, ensuring you stay hydrated during your trip or activity without surprises.

Eliminate leaks and spills with a proprietary screw cap, which functions as a hygienic outlet cap to keep the mouthpiece germ-free

It is suitable for hot and cold beverages and free of BPA, lead, latex, and other harmful chemicals.
