Eighty-six percent of single use plastic water bottles sold end up clogging landfills, and they take up to 1,000 years to biodegrade, according to the American Recycling Institute. Plus, transporting bottled water from far-flung places like Fiji and France to U.S. stores takes another bite out of the planet, gobbling up about 1.5 million barrels of fossil fuels a year.
Stainless steel bottles keep drinks cooler longer and fresh tasting. Stainless steel water bottles are the best choice health-wise. There are no known safety issues; stainless steel is non-reactive so the bottles do not leach and do not have to be lined. Stainless steel is recyclable in all communities that recycle.
Aluminum and reusable plastic bottles both have possible health issues. Aluminum bottles need a inside liner to keep the water safe and its hard to keep it from wearing away. Some Plastic reusable bottles have health issues and some have wear problems. Stick with stainless.
