Why are reusable water bottles made out of plastic???

Question

I like reusable water bottles so i would like to ask more questions about them to see if they are healthy.

Answer 1

Jeez.   There is nothing unhealthy about plastic unless you throw it in a land fill.   Then it is just a waste of plastic.

Answer 2

So they don't break and aren't so heavy. I don't think they are healthy if they get too warm.

Answer 3

There is a type of plastic containing harmful substances called PVCs so f your water bottle is made out of that sort of plastic obviously thats not good, but you can get PVC free certified plastic water bottles. I know Lululemon sells them.

Check these sites if you want to know about PVC plastic

Answer 4

Sorry, most of the reusable water bottles I have seen are not the good kind of plastic. The reason they use plastic is because plastic is lighter and glass would have to be melted down and re made incase of any chips in the bottle. There will be changes in the plastic they use in reusable bottles in time, until then I would suggest keeping them protected from heat and light by storing them in a cool dark place until ready to use.

Answer 5

so they can use it again... maybe its cheaper

Answer 6

Reusable water bottles are made diffently. The plastic is a higher grade and they are made stronger than the regular bottled water bottles.
