Is it better to drink out of stainless steel or plastic bottles?
It’s somewhat of a toss-up on which type of bottle is better. Stainless steel is durable, doesn’t leach chemicals, and is more eco-friendly in the long run. However, it can be heavier and more expensive. Plastic bottles are lightweight, affordable and good for sport, but some can contain harmful chemicals if not BPA-free. Ultimately, the best water bottle choice depends on your personal preferences and priorities.
What is the next trendy water bottle?
While the featured Owala bottle is currently having a moment in the water bottle world, Frank Green and Stanley have also been shiny drinking vessels. Tupperware’s Aquavibe bottle is another bottle we have our eyes on.
