Now I’ve got the negatives out of the way, I can talk about why I love the bottle. I have it in taupe, shown above. The powdered body is top and tailed by stainless steel bands with a small logo at the bottom. The lid has a large handle which can be grabbed with a whole fist and under that is what they call their ‘Chug Cap’. It’s a shatter-resistant plastic lid with a large chug opening in the middle for gulping water on the go. Vlora Salihi, Head of Sales for UKI at Tony's Chocolonely, will share Tony's mission to eradicate slavery from the chocolate industry worldwide. Explore their transformative roadmap and the five sourcing principles that are revolutionising the cocoa industry.

The Ocean Bottle is a water bottle that will last you a lifetime! This bottle has a simple, sleek design and can easily adapt to all of your drinking preferences. UK consumers go through an estimated 14 billion plastic drinks bottles per year, according to Defra, but single-use plastic is falling out of favour thanks to efforts from David Attenborough and Greta Thunberg. More people are turning to reusable water bottles and in return, bottles are getting smarter. The best water bottles these days are insulated, leak-proof, filtered and BPA free. Gavin Parker, Co-Founder and COO of Waterhaul, will take us on a journey of repurposing the most harmful and abundant form of ocean plastic into high-quality, functional products. Discover how Waterhaul's hands-on material sourcing approach gives them a competitive advantage in the eyewear market.

I’m a long time fan of Chilly’s Original Bottle and I’ll admit I was dismissive when the Series 2 bottles first came out. They’re objectively less attractive than the classic design of the Series 1, with a more rugged, squat appearance and a loop handle. But I’m here to tell you I’m a convert. BPA stands for Bisphenol A, an industrial chemical compound used in the manufacturing of strong plastics. Some research suggests BPA can leak into food and drink and cause health problems. “When looking for a bottle, look for non-toxic materials. Stainless steel is one of the most eco-friendly materials for a water bottle. Not only is it safe, but it is very durable and infinitely recyclable,” says Natalie Byrne, content marketing manager at Go Outdoors.

And so for every single Ocean Bottle sold, we fund the collection of 1000 plastic bottles before they enter the ocean. Conscientious customers will love that every Ocean Bottle is made from recycled stainless steel and BPA-free plastic – and can be recycled again once you’re done with it! In a departure from the traditional Chilly’s style, this brand new water bottle has a stainless steel straw with a sporty flip lid and carry loop, designed for use on the go. It comes in either 500ml or a litre. At just 220mm tall and 68mm in diameter, the Ocean Bottle is nice and compact, perfect for taking with you

If not washed properly, bacteria like E. Coli can grow inside water bottles and lead to gastroenteritis. Mould can also start forming in unwashed bottles.

One man shares in his Ocean Bottle review: “Not only do I get loads of compliments on the striking orange color but it’s super handy to have a water bottle that doubles as a coffee keep cup that really maintains temperature!” If you’re buying a reusable water bottle with the intention of becoming more environmentally friendly, it doesn’t get more sustainable than the S’wheat bottle. The S’wheat is a reusable plant-based water bottle made from wheat straw and bamboo. The wheat straw is the stalk part of cereal plants which remains after they’ve been harvested. Usually, wheat straw would be used as biofuel, animal feed or burnt in the open - causing pollutant emissions. For every Ocean Bottle you buy, the company commits to funding the collection of over 11 kilos of plastics (or about 1,000 plastic bottles) from the waters of polluted regions.

They’re essentially tiny granulate cubes made from natural plant and fruit extracts which are low in calories and free from sugar, artificial flavours and sweeteners. The bottles are made with a perfectly sized drinking hole to drop these cubes inside and flavour the water – hence the name, Waterdrop. The Ocean Bottle is our award winning, best selling bottle. It’s been designed to be clean, and minimalistic, while also standing out in its simplicity. It is important to think about what you will be using the bottle for, as well as the materials used and if they are environmentally friendly,” says Byrne. She notes that the main reason people choose to buy a reusable water bottle is to cut down on single-use plastic and help the environment, so it makes sense to choose a bottle that is environmentally friendly, like the plant-based S’wheat bottle.
