The impact of plastic on our Planet is heavy. The now infamous plastic islands in the middle of the ocean, landfills as far as the eye can see, and the latest discoveries of the presence of micro-plastics in marine fauna, have pushed us all to make increasingly conscious and eco-sustainable choices.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Water bottles are undoubtedly a smart choice that could make a big contribution to the reduction of plastic bottles, but it is important to take some precautions and above all to keep them clean.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
What to put in the flasks?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n As a rule, only still water should be put in water bottles, unless there are specific indications that it can be used with other drinks, such as tea, water and carbonated drinks.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n It must be borne in mind that carbonated drinks are acidic and could corrode the materials of which the water bottle is made.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Better make sure to choose materials such as glass, tritan, polypropylene or better still, food-grade stainless steel. <\/strong>In the latter case, simply check on the packaging that it is marked 'Stainless Steel 18\/8' or '304'.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Other materials such as copper and aluminium do not have any particular contra-indications, but special care must be taken when choosing drinks and cleaning.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
