Single-use plastic water bottles? No thanks
June 22, 2023
In 2015, only one in five people in the UK used a refillable water bottle - a number that's now increased to three in five according to the anti-disposables campaign Refill.
It's good news for the environment, but there's still a long way to go. Ten million single-use plastic water bottles are bought every day in the UK, 700,000 of which are thrown away.
Win a stylish reusable Yeti water bottle
Think of Yeti as the Apple of the drinkware and cooler world. Their products aren't cheap, but they work flawlessly and the design is beautifully understated.
The photo of The Rambler Bottle above doesn't do it justice. As soon as you handle it you quickly realise it's made well. With a quick twist, the robust handle comes off, exposing a shatter-resistant, dishwasher-safe spout that allows for controlled gulps on the go. When it’s time for a wash or refill, you can remove the entire cap to expose a wider mouth. Double-wall vacuum insulation means your drink stays cold (or hot) no matter where your journey takes you.
A perfectly stylish way to stay hydrated this summer however you travel.
