We are now living in a time when most people in our part of the world have understood that a good life is only possible if we take care of our environment. This principle applies particularly to consumption, especially when it comes to nutrition. But also with the way we drink drinks, we have a pretty big influence on the fate of our planet.

Plastic bottles are frowned upon

Sure - you can buy a new drink practically anywhere if you are on the road a lot, for business or pleasure. You can find water and juices on every corner in Switzerland. The only problem is that the drinks are almost always filled in plastic bottles. And nowadays every child knows that plastic should be avoided wherever possible. Although the recycling rate for PET bottles or beverage cans is relatively good here, it is assumed that 80 percent of the containers sold find their way back into the cycle even without a depot.

But this rate is not good enough, because it also means that two out of ten bottles end up in the normal waste bin. Examples like Germany show that a depot brings something. The deposit system there ensures that almost 98 percent of all PET bottles subject to a deposit are returned. And the recycling rate for PET bottles without deposit or depot is astonishingly high there at 53.5 percent.

Glass or stainless steel bottles for on the go

Of course, PET bottles for on the go would not be that heavy and therefore easier to transport, that's clear. But it's not just the environment that benefits when you switch to stainless steel or glass. No, in contrast to PET and plastic, no harmful substances get into the drink that you have put in the bottle. The bottom line is that drinking from environmentally friendly bottles on the go is also better for us consumers because it is much healthier.

In recent years, the trend towards sustainable drinking bottles for on the go has clearly reached manufacturers. Of course, these weigh more, but we are constantly working on reducing the weight of the bottle. It is important that you like to drink a lot because it is necessary for hydration. And one would rather drink from a nicely designed bottle than from an inconspicuous one. That is the reason why manufacturers such as Soulbottles and others rely on a beautiful look for their collection of glass and stainless steel bottles.

Why is a lot of fluids so important?

Anyone who likes to drink water or other alcohol-free thirst quenchers will keep the ability to concentrate and thus to perform well for a long time. Fatigue and headaches are not an issue if you are always well hydrated. The organism can detoxify and purify because pollutants are washed out with the water. Last but not least, a balanced fluid balance stimulates digestion.
