How to Choose a Reusable Water Bottle:Glass,Stainless Steel or Plastic In recent years,as the call for maintaining environmentally friendly concepts has become stronger,many industries have transformed their products into more energy-efficient products to protect the environment.

　　Reusable water bottles are water containers that help you drink better.Typically,reusable water bottles are made from three materials:glass,metal,and plastic.Determining which material is the healthiest is controversial,with plastic bottles in particular coming under heavy criticism as it is believed to spread harmful elements and wreak havoc on the environment.Glass and metal are more popular with customers for water quality and healthcare than plastic materials.

　　Therefore,it is important to distinguish which reusable bottle is best for you.

　　Glass

　　Glass is a common material in many industries,such as the water bottle industry.It is said that as long as it does not break,glass water bottles should be the safest.This is not an assumption,but a fact,because glass is made of natural materials,so harmful chemicals are less likely to develop in the bottle when the water is hot or cold.In addition,glass bottles can better maintain the original taste of water.This is because some customers have complained that the water smells like a chemical liquid in a plastic or metal bottle.

　　However,we can't eliminate the risk of glass bursting,especially when people forget to test the water temperature before filling a cold glass bottle with freshly washed laundry before filling it with hot water.To avoid this risk,there are heat-resistant,shatter-resistant glass bottles on the market.But this also creates another dilemma,that is,these bottles are not easy to recycle due to their special materials.If you wish to dispose of such bottles,you will need to carefully separate them and ask your local recycling facility if they will accept them.

　　plastic

　　With white pollution becoming one of today's pressing environmental concerns,plastic has been called the worst invention in human history.However,you have to admit that most reusable water bottles these days are made of plastic.Plastic water bottles are made from plastic polymers like polypropylene and copolyester,which keep the bottle lightweight and durable.This is not the right way to reuse plastic bottles,because although the plastic looks solid,bacteria can easily accumulate in the crevices.Also,never pour hot water into a plastic bottle right after the water has boiled,as this will cause chemicals to leach out and harm our bodies.

　　Many plastic water bottles are considered free of bisphenol A(BPA),a plastic widely used to disrupt human hormones.

　　Care must be taken when recycling plastic bottles as plastic is difficult to break down and there is a typical plastic recycling bin for you to throw away your bottles.

　　Metal

　　Stainless steel water bottles are now common on the market these days.Water bottles made of metal pose less risk of quenching your thirst than glass and plastic bottles.And,the stainless steel water bottle expertly keeps the water temperature at an average level.Imagine sitting wherever you want and your iced drink or beer will stay cold for 24 hours,or your coffee,tea or milk will stay hot for 12 hours.Some stainless steel water bottles are equipped with an alarm clock function to ensure that you can drink water regularly every day.

　　Due to environmental concerns,it is recommended that stainless steel water bottles be dropped off at typical recycling points due to their different composition.
