Reusable bottles and cups are a great sustainable alternative to disposable cups and are an amazing way to help the environment by decreasing your use of plastic. There are so many companies offering fantastic environmentally friendly bottles and cups, which make them even better! Here are some of our favourite reusable bottles.
Pukka Ecoffee Cup: £8.99
This cup is made from bamboo, which is claimed to be the world’s most sustainable crop. This is due to the root system of bamboo, which reshoots once it is harvested. Bamboo is also organic and doesn’t require any fertilisers, making it even better! This cup comes in three different designs and is dishwasher safe. Priced at £8.99 this is a great environmentally friendly option that won’t break the bank and looks great too.

If you are often on the go, this cup will be great for you. The Stojo collapsible cup collapses into a leak proof disk that is less than two inches tall, which makes it perfect to fit into your bag.

Corkcicle has partnered with the non profit charity Water to help fund bringing clean water to those who need it. 5% of all sales go towards bringing clean water to those in need, which is a great cause! These bottles come in a huge variety of shapes, sizes and colours, so there is sure to be a bottle for everyone, including canteens, tumblers and even stemless wine glasses and flutes.
