Sustainable drinking bottles tested: What should you pay attention to when buying?
They are ecological and functional: reusable water bottles offer an alternative to PET bottles for anyone who wants to help reduce waste. But what makes a really good drinking bottle?
The best drinking bottle:
- is light and easy to transport.
- holds tight and is leak-proof.
- has easy handling.
- scores with easy cleaning.
- is made of a tasteless material such as glass or stainless steel.
A sustainable drinking bottle should also meet the following criteria:
- It is plastic-free.
- It does not contain any harmful substances such as BPA.
- It is produced ecologically.
Pollutant-free water bottles are the better choice not only from an ecological perspective, but also from a health perspective. There is evidence that some plastic and plastic bottles can release environmental hormones (endocrine disruptors), harmful plasticizers and phthalates into the liquids. Since a drinking bottle is used daily, it should be food-safe. Food-safe materials are tasteless and odorless and can be used safely to store liquids. When it comes to health and hygiene, stainless steel and glass are almost unsurpassed because they do not release any harmful substances.

A stainless steel drinking bottle is the classic among water bottles. In contrast to many models made of plastic, where signs of wear are visible after opening and closing it a thousand times, the stainless steel drinking bottle is very durable, robust and unbreakable. Waterdrop's high-quality designs are made from double stainless steel and can keep your favorite drink cold for up to 24 hours and hot for up to 12 hours. Waterdrop has also equipped its models with a secure special closure that prevents accidental leakage of water and can be closed and opened without much effort.
The stainless steel drinking bottle is absolutely lightweight and therefore ideal for outdoor activities. The thermal bottles are available in two sizes. With a capacity of 0.6 liters, the small version fits perfectly in a handbag or backpack and is comfortable to handle even for small children. The large drinking bottle has a volume of one liter and is ideal for people who are out and about during the day and do not have the time or opportunity to refill the bottle.
The water bottles made of stainless steel are not only characterized by high functionality, but also look great. With their puristic shape and matt color, they stand out among the water bottles with their bamboo lids.
Glass drinking bottles for pure natural enjoyment
When it comes to naturalness, the bottle made of borosilicate glass is the absolute test winner. With such an environmentally friendly glass bottle, everyone can reduce their CO2 footprint. The high-quality material is also supported by its smooth, scratch-resistant surface, which is very easy to clean, as well as its high chemical resistance and its resistance to alkalis. Drinking bottles made of borosilicate glass have an additional advantage: they can tolerate high temperatures well and are reliable even when there is a rapid change in temperature. A neoprene cover guarantees the long life of the glass body and protects the contents from the strong rays of the sun.
Waterdrop's models adapt perfectly to the needs of the user and impress with an innovative soft square shape that fits in the hand, a wide neck that allows cleaning with a bottle brush and a bamboo cap from which no water can escape .
