Reusing that plastic bottle? …EW!
So you think you’re doing yourself and the earth a favor by refilling that bottle of Poland Springs you drank at lunch today? Reduce, reuse, recycle, right? WRONG! Did you know that reusing disposable water, soda, or juice bottles made from plastic #1 (polyethylene terephthalate, also known as PET or PETE) may leach DEHP, which causes cancer, into the water you are drinking and thus into your digestive system? YIKES! Plus, you can only imagine the bacteria and germs you are exposing yourself to. EW! I was once guilty of reusing disposable water bottles or buying lots of bottled water and not always recycling the empty bottles. But now I’m using reusable bottles everyday, thus reducing health risks and my carbon footprint.
Do yourself a favor and invest in BPA-free reusable water bottles. My personal favorite bottles are from Nalgene. I know – last year the big news was BPA in Nalgene bottles. But since that time, Nalgene has introduced Nalgene Choice - bottles that are made from safe plastics that can also be recycled (if you ever need to get rid of them). Not only do we have access to Nalgene bottles, but hundreds of other BPA-free plastic and aluminum bottles that are perfect for any promotion.
Reusable water bottles are a great promotional idea. They’re cost effective and are another way to help your target audience feel good about partaking in the green revolution. Plus, the bottle will go wherever they go – work, gym, school, errands, etc. - giving your brand maximum exposure. Think about it - what else can a client or prospect carry and use everywhere?
