10 benefits of stainless steel bottles(2)

They require fewer resources and less energy

Did you know that it takes three times as much water to make a bottle of water as it does to fill it? It takes almost 2000 times more energy to make a bottle of water than it does to produce tap water.

The production of bottled water requires 17 million bottles of oil per year. Furthermore, in one week alone, 40,000 18-wheeler trucks line our roads just to deliver bottled water to retail shops across the country. This adds up to a huge amount of fossil fuels just to manufacture and transport these bottles. And then, if not recycled, all those natural resources end up in our landfills as the bottles decompose.

They don't retain their flavour

Does this sound familiar? You fill a reusable plastic bottle with your homemade iced tea latte and take it to work with you. It tastes great! It sits on your desk all day and you leave it in the sink overnight (oops). The next morning, you wash it in the dishwasher and refill it with iced water. On your way to work, you notice that your ice water tastes like tea! 

High quality stainless steel water bottles don't retain their taste. So you can rest assured that no matter what you fill, you won't have a cup of water that tastes like coffee in the morning.

Studies have shown that tap water tastes better than bottled water anyway.

Flavour leaching aside, the study showed that in a blind test, people actually preferred the taste of tap water to that of bottled water. Because there's no fancy marketing or celebrity behind it, if you ask consumers which tastes better, they're more likely to say bottled water. But having said that, studies have shown that tap water tastes better.

They keep your water hotter or colder for longer

Unlike plastic and glass containers, one of the biggest benefits of a stainless steel water bottle is that it keeps your drink hot or colder for longer. By keeping your drinks hot for up to 12 hours and cold for up to 24 hours, stainless steel water bottles can help you say goodbye to lukewarm coffee and too-warm lemonade!

Drinking from a stainless steel bottle is a cheaper habit than drinking bottled water

Americans drink more bottled water than beer or milk and spend more than $12 billion on bottled water each year. Our consumption is increasing every year, making it an expensive habit.

The average American family can save hundreds of dollars over the years by investing in just a few reusable stainless steel water bottles.
