Nowadays, using drinking bottles to replace disposable bottled water is gaining popularity. Besides saving money, using bottled water can also help the environment. We can help reduce plastic waste by switching to water bottles.

That said, you still need to be careful when choosing which one to drink from. Not all bottles are safe to be used. Don't be tempted by low prices, attractive colors, or unique designs.You must be aware of the materials that are safe for use in water bottles. Here are five tips to help you choose a safe drinking bottle that is right for your needs:

1. Make sure the material is food grade and BPA free

Plastic is still the most commonly used material for water bottles because of its light weight and affordable price. If you do want to use a plastic water bottle, make sure you choose one that is made from Tritan plastic or one that is food safe and BPA free.

BPA or Bisphenol-A is a chemical compound widely used in plastic containers or bottles. BPA is used to make plastic bottles less likely to break when dropped and to give the bottle a clearer appearance.

But the problem is that when exposed to heat, BPA can expand and pose a health risk. For this reason, you should never use a plastic water bottle to store a hot beverage.

2. For those who like to bring hot or cold drinks

If you enjoy hot or cold beverages, a stainless steel water bottle might be the perfect choice for you. Stainless Steel Drinking Bottles are also commonly referred to as vacuum flasks because they are usually double layered or insulated to help maintain the temperature of the drink inside.

In terms of durability, stainless steel water bottles are more durable and long-lasting. However, be sure to wash and thoroughly brush the bottle daily if you carry colored beverages such as tea or coffee. Otherwise, stainless steel water bottles can be prone to odors and stains.

At AZKO Indonesia, you can find different types of high quality stainless steel drinking bottles or vacuum flasks. One of them is Kris Vacuum Flask Metallic which has a double layer, rustproof and leakproof. This vacuum flask has a capacity of 500ml.

3. Choose materials that do not leave odors

Another healthy material is glass. Drinking bottles made of glass have the advantage that odors do not stick to them as easily. If you plan to bring strong-smelling beverages such as juice or milk, it is highly recommended that you use a glass drinking bottle.

One of the glass drinking bottle recommendations that you can choose is the Nano Drink Me Up Glasslock Glass Drinking Bottle.This drinking bottle with a capacity of 240 ml is made of glass material with a food grade quality, so it is safe for your health. The bottle cap is made of stainless steel and is equipped with a small rope as a finger loop, so it is easy to carry everywhere.

4. Pastikan tutup botol tidak mudah bocor

Make sure you choose a water bottle with a leak-proof lid to prevent the contents of your bag from getting wet. Like the Kris Texas Vacuum Flask, there is a high quality silicone around the lid that is leak proof.

This vacuum flask is made of BPA-free 304 stainless steel. This vacuum flask is not only leak-proof, but also scratch-resistant and easy to carry with an ergonomic handle.

5. If the bottle is large, choose one with a straw.

If you prefer a large water bottle for exercise or a day at the office, choose one with a straw to make drinking easier. You can use the Carson Kris 2 Liter Drinking Bottle, which is lightweight and comes with a straw and a handle. This water bottle has a capacity of 2 liters and is made of safe plastic.

These are five tips that you can use to help you choose a drinking bottle that is safe and suitable for your needs. You can find drinking bottles made of different types of materials, in different sizes and with different designs in the nearest AZKO store. You can also shop through the ruparupa application.
