How to live without plastic bottles….
Staying hydrated is good for our health.
Find the one The simplest thing you can do to reduce your contribution to the plastic mountain is to find a water bottle that you like enough to use more than once.
Orb it Earlier this year UK scientists unveiled the Ooho, a fully biodegradable water-filled orb made of two layers of seaweed-based packaging.
The biodegradable outside layer can be recycled, while the inside is edible and can be eaten as you drink the water (or discarded, as you wish).
Ooho orbs are not on the market yet but the makers claim they could be cheaper to produce than plastic bottles.
The marketing suggests that those clutching a bottle of water both look and feel healthier.
And 30% of people said they would still feel awkward asking for a free refill even if they had bought other food or drinks.
At the very least you can buy in bulk to reduce plastic packaging waste.
If this happens, the key is to make sure you recycle the bottle correctly so that it can be repurposed.
