Why choose a reusable water bottle?

Obviously, at Nappilla we encourage you to use a reusable frosted glass water bottle in your life. It’s a simple action you can take to immediately improve your health and help the planet.

But you might be wondering: What’s the point of this gesture when it’s more convenient to pick up a plastic water bottle at the grocery store?
If this is what you think, we hope you will read the next section of this guide very carefully.
Here are some key reasons why you should invest in a reusable water bottle today:

Reduce plastic waste: Purchasing a reusable water bottle is a necessary first step in solving the problem of plastic waste. The average European bought 346 disposable plastic bottles in 2020. In total, around 111 billion plastic bottles became waste.

Europeans buy one million plastic bottles every minute. And if you think recycling helps combat this level of waste, think again. In total, only 9% of the world’s plastic has ever been recycled.

This means that approximately 91% of these plastic bottles will become waste. This astronomical level of waste is unnecessary and does far more harm than good.

Preventing plastic from the oceans: think about it. This waste creates huge health problems for marine life and seabirds, which mistake the plastic for food.

Half of the sea turtles have plastic in their stomachs, and one million seabirds starve to death from ingesting plastic every year. Furthermore, it is estimated that the total weight of plastic in the ocean will exceed the weight of fish by 2050.

Minimize microplastics: The overall impact of plastic pollution on human health is not yet known, but researchers are finding microplastics everywhere. These plastic particles range from the size of a grain of rice to microscopic shards. Researchers estimate that humans ingest 2,000 microplastic particles per year.

Currently, scientists are unsure of the impacts of these microplastics on our health, but we can be sure that it doesn’t have to be very good for our health. The best way to prevent them is to remove plastic consumption from our lives as much as possible.

Bottled water is no better than tap water: Many bottled water companies get their tap water, the same water you can get for free at home. If you’re concerned about tap water quality, invest in a filter to prevent exposure to harmful metals and bacteria.

Reusable bottles save money: On average, single-serve bottled water costs $9.47 per gallon, while tap water costs $0.005 per gallon. This represents an increase of 2000 times the initial price of water. Save money and refill a reusable water bottle from the tap.

You will inspire others to live more sustainably. We are social creatures. If you start carrying a cute reusable water bottle, you’ll make your friends want to carry one too.

Use this guide to find the perfect water bottle for your needs to improve the world by reducing waste in our oceans and landfills. You will be doing yourself and the planet a favour.

What is the best water bottle for you?

Get ready to welcome a reusable frosted bottle into your life. Even though water bottle trends and features don’t change as fast as smartphones or watches, there are some key things to keep in mind. These characteristics will influence your choice of a water bottle when shopping.

Sustainability :

Do you tend to break things? Beware of fragile glass bottles or single-walled plastic and metal bottles.

Do you often change your style and replace your objects? Or do you prefer a unique and durable water bottle? We come back to the old debate between classic style and trend. If durability is your goal, go for a classic bottle that you can reuse over and over again.

Temperature control:

Do you want to use your bottle for hot and cold drinks? Or do you want your water bottle to keep its contents at a certain temperature? For this, you need a stainless steel insulated water bottle.

The look and feel:

Do you want something that smells good and has an attractive design? If you answered yes to this question, avoid plastic bottles as they lack aesthetic panache.

Ease of use :

Do you become attached to your objects if they are comfortable? Do you want something that feels like an extension of your body and that you can easily carry anywhere? See the sections on the handle, neck, and lid, as these details can greatly influence how easy a bottle is to use.

Do you need a large bottle for long trips or a smaller one for portability? Check out the bottle sizing section of this guide, where you’ll find the best uses for different sizes.

Do you want to put it in the dishwasher? Plastic bottles can pose a safety risk if washed in the heat of a dishwasher, while vacuum-insulated bottles should be cleaned by hand.

Now that you have thought about the ideal qualities of your future bottle, you need to know if you want an aesthetic or a functional bottle, or both. Keep your preferences in mind when exploring the different r bottle options.

Next, you need to think about when you will use your water bottle.

What will you be using your water bottle for?

The fact that humans need to take steps to ensure that they keep hydrated in practically every situation does not, however, imply that a bottle is required for anything else in order to participate in any other activity. Before you go out and buy a bottle, you should first stop what you’re doing, sit down, and make a list of the occasions on which you plan to utilize the liquid that is contained within the bottle. Only then should you go out and buy the bottle. After then, you can use this list whenever you need a guide to choosing the best bottle for your needs so that you can go ahead and make your buy.

You could, for instance, use your bottle to drink from while at work or at the gym, or you might carry it along with you on a trip or a stroll and use it for those activities. These activities call for an insulated water bottle of the highest possible caliber, one that is versatile enough to be used effectively in a broad variety of environments.

If, on the other hand, you are looking for a water bottle in order to satisfy a certain requirement, then you will need to take into account a different set of factors. If you want to ride your motorbike for long distances, you might find that carrying a hands-free hydration pack rather than a bottle is more handy than carrying a bottle of water. If you are going hiking in a remote region of the wilderness, you might need a water bottle that is very lightweight and won’t weigh you down. This is especially true if you plan on carrying the bottle the entire time.
