Hello boys and girls and welcome to your first lesson on plastic water bottles. Ever wondered to yourself if that plastic bottle you keep refilling and reusing is doing you harm? Don’t get me wrong, recycling is the cleaner, greener way to a happy future but can it affect your health?

Research has shown that most water bottles are only designed for single time use, so if you keep reusing them they can leach harmful chemicals into your water. Heat can also affect this so keeping your bottle in a hot car can increase this rate of ‘leaching’.

Now don’t be alarmed because the clever people from Klean Kanteen have come up with a solution to this problem with beautifully designed stainless steel water bottle. Make sure not to be fooled by imitations brands that look the same but are made from aluminium and have an epoxy lining that can be just as bad as plastic! The Klean Kanteen is made from high quality 18/8, food-grade stainless steel which means you wont get that ‘funny’ metallic taste. It comes with a BPA-free polypropylene cap but you can also choose to purchase a stainless steel cap at a little extra cost. Don’t forget it takes up to 1000 years for a plastic water bottles to breakdown, so do your bit for the environment and go Klean Kanteen.
