The best eco bottle is the Ocean Bottle made using ocean bound plastics - but others rank highly too. Namely • Cove Recycled Stainless Steel Bottle • Aspen Glass Bottle • Glass and Bamboo Infuser • Bio Plastic Sports bottle How do you decide what is the BEST eco water bottle? To rank eco products is always very difficult because there is no real standard measure for eco credentials, and one has to balance eco credentials with price. And most importantly the bottle must work as a promotional product. So, it must be retained and look great when branded. With Pavilion Earth’s years of selling eco products, we have come up with our ranking based on the popularity and success of various promotional water bottles. One significant factor is that all reusable bottles whether made from eco materials or not can be considered eco-friendly. A reusable bottle in any format stops the use of single use plastic bottles and thus a ‘Refill NOT Landfill’ approach. The polythene and PET bottles used by the drinks industry are a significant problem , adding to ocean waste. So which are the best promotional bottles from Pavilion’s experience: 1. The Ocean Bottle
