Safe Reusable Plastic Water Bottle with Filter

In spite of the bad news on plastic water bottles, there are still some plastics that are BPA-free and environmentally-safe.  While there are some reusable plastic water bottles that look chic but not safe, you can find some really chic plastics that will not leach harmful chemicals into your food and drinks.

Also, when looking for a reusable water bottle with filter, you want to make sure to read the label for what the plastic is made of. Because a water bottle has a filter attachment does not mean everything is okay. The filter on the bottle may remove bad chemicals from the water but other harmful chemicals may leach into the filtered water from the same bottle.

Safer plastics for food and drinks are labeled #2 HPDE, #4 LPDE, #5 PP, and #1 PETE.  These plastics a said to be environmentally-friendly and will not cause any health problems.

Plastics that are not safe and not recyclable are labeled #3 PVC or simply V, #6 PS, and #7.  These plastics can release carcinogenic chemicals into food and drink and the environment.  #7 plastic also can leach the dreaded BPA into foods and drinks.

So, look for safe plastic labels when you shop for a refillable water bottle, or reusable water bottle with filter attachment.

Other alternatives to plastic will be either a reusable glass water bottle, or a stainless steel water bottle.  These types of bottles are portable, eco-friendly, BPA-free, and will not leach any dangerous chemicals into your food and drink.
