Your Challenge
Make plastic bottles a thing of the past by choosing reusable bottles instead.
There are many options out there, including bottles made from glass and aluminium. Top them up with water, juice or another drink of your choosing to help reduce your need for single-use plastic bottles on the go. Having your bottle of water with you wherever you go will also help you keep hydrated.
See if you can find yourself a new bottle for life in the WWF shop by using the code APP10, which gives all My Footprint App users an exclusive 10% discount.
Why you're doing this
Plastic bottles are made from fossil fuels, which damage the environment when extracted and processed, resulting in pollution and carbon emissions. Once used, we throw plastic bottles in the bin or recycling bin, where they make their way either to landfill, incineration, or to be recycled. Globally we recycle just 9% of all plastic. [1]
How you'll make a difference
We can all help avoid waste by buying a reusable bottle and filling it with tap water or other soft drinks. There’s a huge range on the market these days, with different patterns and colours to match your style. Many bottles also come with insulation, keeping your drink nice and cool for longer – a win-win!
