Our very own Alex Peet, Head of New Product Development here at Ocean Bottle, will deep dive into our team's sustainable design approach and the real-world challenges we encounter when working with and sourcing new materials. Stainless steel is a reasonable option for a sustainable water bottle as it’s 100 per cent recyclable. Plastic uses oil and water in the production and releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, but can be more environmentally friendly if it is recycled. Many brands will also be certified by industry-recognised sustainability charities. Some logos to look out for include B-Corp, signifying the business puts purpose before profit; 1% for the Planet, meaning the organisation donates 1 per cent of its revenue to environmental causes each year; and also Climate Neutral, a globally-recognised standard for carbon accountability. Of all the bottles I tried, the Yeti Rambler had the best insulation which is why I’ve made it the best for hot water. The Chug Cap easily screws off which is ideal for drinking tea and coffee. Unfortunately the lid doesn’t screw directly onto the body - you need the Chug Cap between. One man shares in his Ocean Bottle review: “Not only do I get loads of compliments on the striking orange color but it’s super handy to have a water bottle that doubles as a coffee keep cup that really maintains temperature!”

Ocean Bottle’s charity partners operate in places such as the Philippines, India, and Malaysia, where they pay people fair living wages to collect plastic waste and bring it to centers where it can be properly recycled. The Ocean Bottle is our award winning, best selling bottle. It’s been designed to be clean, and minimalistic, Most companies say they can keep water cold for 24 hours and hot for 12. We wouldn’t recommend keeping water in your bottles any longer than that as it can start to take on a stale taste. That said, you can safely store tap water for up to six months, according to Healthline. Which are the safest water bottles to buy?The body curves inwards around three quarters of the way up so you can wrap the rest of the hand around the body as you press the lid. I’d suggest it really needs to be a little higher, though I do have small hands. Some water bottles are dishwasher safe but it is still important to clean the smaller parts with a toothbrush or bottle brush, especially those with built-in straws. If not washed properly, bacteria like E. Coli can grow inside water bottles and lead to gastroenteritis. Mould can also start forming in unwashed bottles. How long can you keep water in a reusable water bottle?

UK consumers go through an estimated 14 billion plastic drinks bottles per year, according to Defra, but single-use plastic is falling out of favour thanks to efforts from David Attenborough and Greta Thunberg. More people are turning to reusable water bottles and in return, bottles are getting smarter. The best water bottles these days are insulated, leak-proof, filtered and BPA free. And so for every single Ocean Bottle sold, we fund the collection of 1000 plastic bottles before they enter Warm soapy water and a bottle brush will clean all sorts of water bottles including metal, glass and plastic. I recommend that you use fragrance-free soap, as bottles made of silicone and plastic can take on the scent of the soap. For straws, use a pipe cleaner. If a straw is removable, soak the straw at least once a week,” says Byrne. As always, thank you to you all for your ongoing support of us all at Ocean Bottle and our shared Mission.Binchotan Charcoal (also used in high-end barbecuing) not only filters out impurities like chemicals and metals but also imparts healthy minerals like potassium. Tangibly, this means tap water is eradicated of bad smells and tastes like bottled water. It takes around eight hours to do so, meaning you’ll get the best results filling it the night before.

When we introduced the Original Ocean Bottle our intention was to enable others to have a direct impact on the plastic pollution problem with a product that lasts a lifetime. Hopefully our mission is what got you here but you should also know our product is the best on the market. The lip, for me, is well sized. If it’s too large, you risk spilling water all over you clothes; too small and it’s not a comfortable fit for the mouth. Chilly’s is just right. I also find that, while some steel bottles can leave a slight lingering metallic flavour, these ones don’t. I like the textured feel of the bottle, which makes it a little less slippery than some steel options and prevents it feeling too cold or hot to the touch. Water stays hot for a long time – though I’m not sure about the 12 hours claim – and remains cold throughout the day; ideal if you’re on a long walk or a hike.The Ocean Bottle is the most innovative eco alternative to single-use plastic bottles on the market. Created to not only be the best bottle for the end-user but also to create a solution to STOP the flow of plastic into our oceans. The plastic which is used on the outside of the bottle is 100% recycled plastic and upcycled plastic which was saved from our oceans The Ocean Bottle is THE best reusable water bottle, not only is it high quality and superbly functional but the business model used to create each bottle has the potential to cut plastic pollution in the ocean massively. The production process for each bottle involves the use of recycled and upcycled plastic, which would otherwise have been floating in our oceans. The ascetics and the ethics of this bottle make it easy to market to your customers. This bottle’s design has so may unique selling points, that make it stand out as a world class reusable bottle. Features include a cup, easy carry loop, anti-leak lid, fully insulated and the ocean plastic base to stop banging on hard surfaces, (which includes smart chip inside - see video for more about this!) In addition it has been made to be dishwasher safe and durable to it can be reused over and over. Vlora Salihi, Head of Sales at Tony's Chocolonely, shared Tony's mission to achieve 100% slave-free chocolate on a global scale. She delved into Tony’s 5 sourcing principles, illustrating a transformative example that is reshaping the landscape of the cocoa industry.

Tossed into lakes and rivers, these plastics eventually enter the ocean where they ruin marine ecosystems – that’s where Ocean Bottle comes in! They’re essentially tiny granulate cubes made from natural plant and fruit extracts which are low in calories and free from sugar, artificial flavours and sweeteners. The bottles are made with a perfectly sized drinking hole to drop these cubes inside and flavour the water – hence the name, Waterdrop. I adore the Yeti Rambler, but I couldn’t put it higher on this list because it’s so heavy. The lightest 532 ml version weighs 462g empty. For context, the S’wheat weighs almost half that, at 250g, and Chilly’s Series 2 bottles weigh 390g. Half a kilo may still not sound very heavy, but it sure will take its toll on weaker wrists. Gavin Parker, Co-Founder and COO of Waterhaul, will take us on a journey of repurposing the most harmful and abundant form of ocean plastic into high-quality, functional products. Discover how Waterhaul's hands-on material sourcing approach gives them a competitive advantage in the eyewear market.

The Hydro Flask features a compact design with a powdered coating and a choice of nine colours. My favourite was the rain colour, a pale blue. The bottom is slightly indented in the middle for a stable base and after a month of using it, I can confirm it’s durable and keeps water ice cold.
