Drinking water from disposable plastic water bottles is indeed very convenient, you can throw it away after drinking. But the public is not aware of the huge impact these small items will have on our environment. In fact, all the plastic products produced in history still exist today.
Nowadays, many people have begun to realize that disposable plastic water bottles are a problem. Disposable plastic water bottles are not only made of thin plastic that can penetrate chemicals into the water in the bottle, but also made of non-renewable resource petroleum. Although disposable plastic water bottles can be recycled, a staggering number of disposable plastic bottles end up in landfills or in the ocean. Plastics pose a potential risk to marine life and human health. They will hide in fish and be eaten by people.
Except for disposable plastic bottles, reusable water bottles mainly include stainless steel cup, glass travel mug, and stainless steel vacuum flask.
Which material of these water bottles is more suitable? First select a suitable reusable water bottle and refill it with filtered water or other beverages of choice.
In daily use and outdoor travel, there are many different types of reusable water bottles, such as insulated travel bottle, glass travel bottle and double wall tumbler. Not all kettles are the same, and it is difficult for us to choose the best option according to our needs.
The pros and cons of bottles made of glass, stainless steel and certain rigid plastics are listed below.
Everyone has the right to their personal preferences. Therefore, the various bottle materials mentioned in the article are at your own discretion.
Among the cups of all materials, the glass is the healthiest. The glass does not contain organic chemicals during the firing process. When people drink water or other beverages by glass, they don’t have to worry about chemicals being drunk into their stomachs. Moreover, the glass surface is smooth and easy to clean, and bacteria and dirt are not easy to breed on the wall of the cup, so it is the healthiest and safest for people to drink water from a glass. In addition, experts also advocate the use of enamel cups, because enamel cups are made after enamelling at thousands of degrees and do not contain harmful substances such as lead, so they can be used with confidence.
Compared with stainless steel or plastic bottles, glass is fragile and breaks easily. We often use glass tea cups and glass coffee cups in life.
Stainless steel is a safe and healthy material for storing beverages. When the bottle is kept warm, stainless steel is a safe choice for storing hot beverages. A stainless steel thermos with double insulation outdoors is usually the best solution to keep drinks or food warm for a long time.
The cup body is easily damaged and deformed, which affects the service life. Measures such as covering the inner layer of the vacuum cup with metal film and copper plating can also increase the degree of heat preservation. The service life of the vacuum cup also depends on the cleaning of the inner layer of the cup and the time for vacuuming.
Lightweight and soft plastic is generally considered the best choice for outdoor sports or gyms. Plastic bottles are suitable for installation on bicycles or for sports events.
Certain plastics contain BPA and other harmful substances such as formaldehyde and phthalates.
