Say goodbye to disposable plastic water bottles and hello to reusable water bottles made to last. Combining functionality with style, to highlight the importance of hydration. Especially when you are on a vacation or living under the Mexican sun.
If you are a beach bum, love to walk to your favorite cafe at high noon, or enjoy sitting by the pool while taking your daily dose of vitamin D – staying hydrated cannot be overemphasized. It’s vital to stay hydrated! But also bear in mind: one of the most pressing environmental challenges in the world today is the epidemic of plastic waste! That being said, Chew & Lush produced a list of reusable water bottles making it easy for you to live a more sustainable lifestyle free of single-use plastic.
Our list focused on a few key factors: functionality, eco-friendly, duration of the beverage temperature/keep your drink cool, stylish designs, and most importantly, affordability. Hopefully, our research will help you decide which water bottle should tag along on your next adventure.
