Why stainless steel bottles are better than plastic water bottles
Water bottles are a must in every household. We have them in the fridge, on the dining table, carry it to school and so on. Of late, the plastic water bottles are being replaced by the stainless steel ones. In this article, I have discussed, why stainless steel bottles are better than plastic water bottles.
A nice gulp of water from your favourite bottle on a hot summer day is the first thing you would look forward to while on travel. You would seldom forget to carry a water bottle along with you on such trips. Now, if I ask you, what kind of bottle do you carry along with you, the pale steel ones or the bright plastic ones that go with your style?
Had we been discussing this a couple of years back, your answer would have definitely been plastic bottle, isn't it? Obvious enough, because plastic water bottles are lighter and fancier. They come in different shapes and sizes. What more would you want? You and I had been cherishing the plastic bottles for a long time. Not only adults, but even kids prefer the plastic ones. The plastic water bottles were a must-buy for school children at the beginning of the academic sessions.
Talking of recent days, the stainless steel bottles are now replacing the plastics ones gradually. The steel bottles, once tagged as boring, are back in fashion. Though the steel bottles are heavier than their plastic counterparts and come in a very limited range of colors and shapes, they are becoming popular by the day. Less due to their own merits, more due to the demerits of plastic, the stainless steel bottles are becoming more and more acceptable.
Why are the steel bottles better than plastic bottles
Not all plastic bottles are the use and throw ones. The bottles commonly used at homes are made of sturdy material and seem to be good and healthy. But unfortunately, even the sturdy plastic ones are not much good when compared to the steel ones. Let us see why the stainless steel bottles score over the plastic bottles:
Easy cleaning makes steel bottles a good choice for use in the dishwashers as well. This is not the case with the plastic or the glass bottles.
Nowadays, the stainless steel bottles are also available with desirable features like carrying straps, handles, clips and even special caps. You also get them in a variety of colours and shapes. Made of stainless steel, they are not going to rust. Moreover, a sip taken from a stainless steel bottle is your way of doing a bit towards safeguarding the environment.
Plastic is causing many pollution problems and everybody is trying to replace plastic with other materials. Use and throw bottles that are used for storing water and selling water are the main source of plastic waste. There are two or three alternatives we can think of like steel or glass containers. Glass containers are costly but are not durable and steel containers are durable but costly. Steel containers will keep that coolness for some time but slowly the coldness will go as metal is a good conductor of heat. I always feel we should go back to our olden days when we were using clay pots for water storing. Nowadays clay bottles are coming into the market and they will be good to replace plastic containers.
