\"recycle_plant\"<\/a>We often are asked, \u201cWhat is the best aluminum water bottle?\u201d or \u201cWhat is the best stainless water bottle?\u201d The answer is: the best reusable bottle is the one that stops a plastic water bottle from ending up in a landfill.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s more important than ever to make sustainable choices in our lives, and an easy place to start is with our drinkware. Single-use plastics pose risks to our health as well as the wellbeing of the planet. Opting for reusable water bottles is a small but significant change you can make daily! If you\u2019re not quite convinced yet, here are some recycling facts for you to ponder.<\/p>\n

1. It takes 95% less energy to recycle an aluminum can than it does to manufacture a new one<\/p>\n

2. Two-thirds of the aluminum ever produced is in use today<\/p>\n

3. Recycling one ton of steel saves mining 2,500 lbs of iron ore, 1,000 lbs of coal and 40 l\"Reusablebs of limestone<\/p>\n

3. States with bottle deposit laws have 30-40% less litter by volume<\/p>\n

4. Most bottles and jars contain at least 25% recycled glass<\/p>\n

5. It takes 88% less energy to use recycled plastic to make new plastics than from starting with raw materials (natural gas and oil)<\/p>\n

6. Recycled soda bottles can be made into fleece clothing, sleeping bags, carpeting, and other textiles<\/p>\n

These are just a few facts showcasing the importance of recycling! As a result, we can see that mindful consumption and conscious consumerism is the way forward.
