If you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint on the earth, the first place you’d usually start is ditching the plastic water bottle. While cutting out the synthetic material altogether might be a little challenging, replacing single-use plastic bottles can kickstart your journey to a more eco-friendly life. And with that in mind, investing in a new water bottle should be at the top of your checklist.
But it’s not as easy as picking the first one you see on the shelf, you need to consider so many different factors: from cooling capabilities to functionality, leak proof and sizing. Once you’ve identified what you want from your bottle, it’s time to think style: glass, stainless steel, collapsible, there are a plethora of options out there to satisfy your gym and hiking needs. Luckily, we’ve done the hard work for you, selecting the best on the market that will tackle all of your hydration needs.

9. Tupperware Eco Bottles
Size: 2L
Cost: $52.00
Review: “Water bottles, much like keep cups they are a saturated (pardon the pun) space these days. Still, I’ve always been a fan of Tuppaware’s mega two-litre Eco bottles. Apart from having a wide mouth flip-lid (cos who has the time for unscrewing bottles?) it also has a handy detachable carry-handle for traipsing around the gym or office floor. Although you will garner audible gasps at this beast’s size at least you get through your 2 litres a day without MORE traipsing to the tap for re-fills. Should you prefer a more understated water vessel, The Eco bottle also comes in 1L, 1.5L and 400ml plus a veritable spectrum of colours. Sorted.”
