The tap water in our country is perfectly drinkable. Moreover, every plastic bottle of water you don’t buy is one less bottle in the bin! Because even though Belgium recycles more than half of all plastic packaging, avoiding waste is more sustainable than recycling it. It also makes a huge difference in the consumption of raw materials in the long run.
Materials such as stainless steel, glass, silicone, and bamboo are the most sustainable raw materials for drinking bottles because they are long-lasting and easy to recycle. You can also look at the producer. Local brands are always a good idea; some also do research on potable water or make potable water available in developing countries.
