What are the benefits of glass? Why should I buy a glass bottle over a plastic or metal one?

Glass has been a trusted material for centuries. It is one of the greenest materials on the planet and is 100% recyclable. And, it is safe. You don’t have to worry about BPA or other unknown chemicals that can leach into liquids from plastic bottles. Moreover, water and beverages will taste better coming out of a glass bottle because glass is taste neutral—no unpleasant plastic or metallic taste.

Plastic bottles can scratch, and scratches can harbor bacteria—glass bottle does not.

Our sleeves are made of silicone, which is non-toxic and has been strength-tested for durability. Silicone is made from silica, the most common constituent of sand. It is a great alternative to plastics, which can leach chemicals, and to rubber or latex, to which some people are allergic.

Those are the benefits to you. But using a Lifefactory reusable glass bottle also benefits the environment. Bottled water creates enormous quantities of waste. You’ll save money and Earth’s resources if you don’t buy bottled water.
