• 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

This bottle has now become a significant retail brand and has a great back story – it is made from part recycled plastic and stainless steel. Each bottle funds the collection of 11.4kg of ocean bound plastic, equivalent to 1000 plastic bottles. Plastic Bank ensures that the plastic waste is collected by locals living in coastal communities, mostly in Asia. The bottle has won a number of design awards and as well as looking great, is a true vacuum container keeping drinks cold (or hot)

2. Cove Recycled Stainless Steel bottle

It has a combination of quality product and price point which is attractive. Also, because of the infuser element it strikes a chord with a health conscious public. It is both an office product and for use in the home and the gym.
