With states and cities around Australia banning the sale of single-use plastic water bottles, it’s yet another reason to step up your eco-game and invest in the best reusable bottle for you.
Firstly, choosing a BPA-free water bottle is a non-negotiable for your health
Secondly, when it comes to choosing the right water bottle for you there are a few things you need to ask yourself: do you want it to keep your water cold? Be collapsible? Do you enjoy flavoured water so need an infuser? Or is style and sleekness a non-negotiable when it comes to drink bottles? What is its primary use?
