SHOULD I SWITCH TO A BOROSILICATE GLASS BOTTLE? IS IT WORTH MY MONEY?

Great improvements can be made with small changes to our everyday habits. In this era, buying disposable plastic water bottles is just plain silly considering all the alternative options available. If you are thinking about buying a reusable water bottle, that’s a great first step in making a positive lifestyle change. It’s easy to settle for an average product that is inexpensive and does the job, but that’s the wrong mindset if you are looking to improve your personal health and make positive lifestyle changes. Our philosophy is quality over quantity, and purchasing long-lasting products is money well-spent. Here are some of the benefits of investing in a premium reusable borosilicate glass bottle.

It’s better for you. Since borosilicate glass resists chemicals and acid degradation, you don’t need to worry about stuff seeping into your water. It’s always safe to drink from. You can put it in the dishwasher, put it in the microwave, use it to store hot liquids or leave it out in the sun. You won’t have to concern yourself with the bottle heating up and releasing harmful toxins into the liquid you are drinking, something very common in plastic water bottles or less expensive alternatives.

It makes things taste better. Have you ever drank from plastic bottles and tasted the plastic flavor from which you are drinking? This occurs because it is actually seeping into your water due to the solubility of the plastic. This is both harmful to your health and unpleasant. When using borosilicate glass, the liquid inside remains pure, and because borosilicate glass has low solubility, it keeps your beverage free from contamination.

It’s better for the environment. Plastic water bottles are terrible for the environment. They are made from petroleum, and they almost always end up in either a landfill, lake or ocean. Only 9% of all plastic gets recycled. Even then, often times the process of breaking down and reusing plastics leaves a heavy carbon footprint. Since borosilicate glass is made from naturally abundant materials that are more easily acquired than oil, the environmental impact is also smaller. If handled with care, borosilicate glass will last a lifetime.
