Stainless steel water bottle is the second greenest choice for a reusable water bottle. The greenest choice is glass water bottle, but glass breaks easily so it's not ideal when out and about. Having said that, do use glass water bottle if you can or when breakage is not a concern. Glass is better for our environment. However, do take notice of the type of glass you are using. Glass quality varies greatly. Low quality glass can release alkaline which is harmful for our body. Borosilicate glass is the best quality glass to store food and liquid.
All the stainless steel water bottles you can see below have been road-tested by our family (including 2 toddlers). We only stock stainless steel water bottles that we're happy with and those ones that we believe is good value for Australian customers. Please note that some USA brands are not sold here not because they are not good quality, but because those products are often very expensive by the time they are shipped to Australia. At Ash N Juls, we aim to find high quality brands that are good value for money for our Australian customers.
