Best Glass Water Bottles

Plastic-Free, Metal-Free Water Bottles by Lifefactory
We've never used plastic water bottles for home, kids' school lunches, or for outings or sports activities. Until, recently, we were a stainless steel family when it came to taking water out of the house. We often found our water would taste a bit metallic by the end of the day, but we lived with it because we figured it was the best plastic-free option. Then came Lifefactory bottles - a super safe, colorful glass beverage bottle that changed our family's water-on-the-go habits forever.

Lifefactory's BPA-free, reusable beverage bottles are made from clear soda lime glass, the same glass used to make wine bottles. The glass is wrapped in a thick silicone sleeve that makes the bottle easy to grasp and helps prevent breakage. My kids love the rainbow of color choices. I love the purity and zero-added taste that comes with drinking (or eating) from glass plus the large mouth, which tends to make me drink more water (and who doesn't need that!).

Lifefactory beverage bottles come in two sizes and are available at Whole Foods Market, Amazon.com, and on our Recommended Eco Products page.
