Product Information

Stainless steel is a reasonable option for a sustainable water bottle as it’s 100 per cent recyclable. Plastic uses oil and water in the production and releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, but can be more environmentally friendly if it is recycled. S’wheat is the most environmentally friendly reusable water bottle, because it is made from biodegradable plant-based materials, bamboo and wheat straw, which would otherwise have been agricultural waste. The company also plants a tree with every sale, takes plastic out of the oceans and donates a percentage of its profit to protect sea life. Baking soda and vinegar. Pair baking soda with white vinegar to effectively clean the inside of your water bottle. Wait for the reaction to finish, rinse out and repeat if necessary.

The lip, for me, is well sized. If it’s too large, you risk spilling water all over you clothes; too small and it’s not a comfortable fit for the mouth. Chilly’s is just right. I also find that, while some steel bottles can leave a slight lingering metallic flavour, these ones don’t. I like the textured feel of the bottle, which makes it a little less slippery than some steel options and prevents it feeling too cold or hot to the touch. Water stays hot for a long time – though I’m not sure about the 12 hours claim – and remains cold throughout the day; ideal if you’re on a long walk or a hike. I’m a long time fan of Chilly’s Original Bottle and I’ll admit I was dismissive when the Series 2 bottles first came out. They’re objectively less attractive than the classic design of the Series 1, with a more rugged, squat appearance and a loop handle. But I’m here to tell you I’m a convert. Carry out initial testing and keep records of the results - you’ll need to show these to the local authority. Take as many samples as you need to be sure your water complies with the rules.

For both initial and ongoing testing, you do not need to send samples of the water to the local authority. They’ll carry out their own tests at your bottling plant. Chemical limits

Is it worth getting an Air Up bottle? Find out if the latest craze to get you drinking more water is fab or fad. The bottle itself is made of stainless steel, offers two different sizes, and comes in both insulated and non-insulated versions. The only downside to this LARQ water bottle is that it needs to be hand-washed. You can demonstrate to the local authority that your water does not contain residues of these chemicals over the limits by providing either a manufacturer’s: The Polar Bottle Breakaway is a triple-insulated cycling bottle with a squeeze function to easily drink while on the move. It’s also ideal for those at the gym who need to access water without using their fingers to open the bottle (as your hands are often dirty from touching machines and weights).Apply to register your business for bottled drinking water with the local authority in the area the water is extracted from. When they’re satisfied that your bottled drinking water meets the rules, they’ll register your business and confirm it in writing. While many gallon-sized bottles are made of plastic, this one is made of stainless steel (meaning it is more durable, BPA-free, and keeps your water cold), which is what makes it so pricy. And while the price may be a big turnoff to some, we believe this is an awesome option for those who will use it often.

The S’wheat is a reusable plant-based water bottle made from wheat straw and bamboo. The wheat straw is the stalk part of cereal plants which remains after they’ve been harvested. Usually, wheat straw would be used as biofuel, animal feed or burnt in the open - causing pollutant emissions.

Most companies say they can keep water cold for 24 hours and hot for 12. We wouldn’t recommend keeping water in your bottles any longer than that as it can start to take on a stale taste. That said, you can safely store tap water for up to six months, according to Healthline. Which are the safest water bottles to buy? Waterdrop is fast joining the top names in the booming water bottle industry, with ambassadors including tennis stars Novak Djokovic and Taylor Fritz (Djokovic having reportedly made a fairly sizeable investment in the company). In such a saturated market, Waterdrop has come up with something slightly different to stand out: Microdrink cubes. I adore the Yeti Rambler, but I couldn’t put it higher on this list because it’s so heavy. The lightest 532 ml version weighs 462g empty. For context, the S’wheat weighs almost half that, at 250g, and Chilly’s Series 2 bottles weigh 390g. Half a kilo may still not sound very heavy, but it sure will take its toll on weaker wrists. BPA stands for Bisphenol A, an industrial chemical compound used in the manufacturing of strong plastics. Some research suggests BPA can leak into food and drink and cause health problems. “When looking for a bottle, look for non-toxic materials. Stainless steel is one of the most eco-friendly materials for a water bottle. Not only is it safe, but it is very durable and infinitely recyclable,” says Natalie Byrne, content marketing manager at Go Outdoors.

The best size water bottle for you will depend on your needs. If you need to use it for a full day (without limited access to a source for refilling it), then a larger bottle will be important to meet your hydration needs. If you plan on bringing a bottle into the office or keeping one by your side at home, you may be able to get a smaller bottle and refill it as needed. After thorough research, we reviewed the best options on the market and then selected the best based on our experts’ recommendations. We considered size, material, and ease of washing to prevent mold and bacterial growth. We also selected a variety of mouthpieces to appeal to a variety of drinking preferences, from straw to wide mouth. Ultimately, the healthiest water bottle to use is the one you will use consistently. Dana Cohen, MD says, “Being properly and optimally hydrated is the single most important thing you can do to prevent chronic disease. Low-grade dehydration that we are typically less aware of and don’t have great testing for puts us at higher risk for colon cancer, kidney cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, headaches, fibromyalgia, constipation, and brain fog.” Of course, it is also recommended you avoid bottles with BPA because BPA has been linked to various adverse health outcomes as described above.
