Sustainability has been an extremely popular topic in recent years as more people become interested in climate change. We see “green” products being released in every industry as consumer trends lean towards more sustainable choices. No matter what industry your business may be in, finding sustainable options for promotional products is almost non-negotiable. This is especially true for brands that operate in the sustainability space. Custom reusable bottles are the perfect eco-friendly option that is effective for marketing and effective for sustainability. You can feel good knowing that reusable bottles actually make a difference. Let’s dive into some statistics that blew our team away and make us glad we use our reusable bottles too!
Plastic bottles are the third most common plastic found in the ocean debris. The oceans are our lifeline here on this planet, so taking care of them is crucial. Knowing that plastic water bottles contribute so much waste to our oceans is extremely motivating to reach for another alternative!
91% of plastic isn’t recycled and most of it ends up in landfills or oceans. Our consumption (as a society) of single-use plastic is a major problem. It takes 400+ years for it to degrade and a lot of times it can end up in the human food chain! Salmon bowl with a side of microplastic? No thanks.
The average person spends $266 per year on plastic bottles, so imagine the money people could save by purchasing 1 reusable water bottle! Reusable water bottles are made to last, so it’s a win-win. They are better for the environment and for your wallet!
Not to mention reusable drinkware is also better for our health. Plastic bottled water can contain a variety of different chemicals and microplastics that are unhealthy for us to consume on a regular basis. Using a reusable bottle every day instead of a plastic one is a smart choice no matter where your day takes you!
With all this information in mind, we can see how useful reusable bottles are both for the consumer and for businesses alike! Finding a promotional product that aligns with your business’ values and brand image is key. Whether you have an event coming up or are looking to market your brand in an aligned way, we are here to help you find the perfect promotional item for your next project.
