March 1, 2023 by bottleyourbrand Leave a Comment

Staying hydrated is crucial for a healthy lifestyle, and Hydro Flask bottles have become widely popular recently for many people looking for a reliable and durable reusable water bottle. Hydro Flask is a company that has gained a reputation for producing high-quality insulated water bottles that keep your drinks cold or hot for hours, and they come in a variety of sizes and colors. They have almost become a status symbol of sorts, similar to a designer jean or hat, Hydro Flask bottles say “look at how I love to stay hydrated, and I’m willing to spend $50 to look good doing it”.

Why Are Hydro Flask Bottles So Popular?

One of the primary reasons for Hydro Flask’s popularity is the quality of their products. Hydro Flask bottles are made of high-grade stainless steel and are designed to withstand rough handling that comes with adventuring in the outdoors. They are also double-walled with vacuum insulation, which means that they can keep drinks cold for up to 24 hours and hot for up to 12 hours, making them perfect for hot summer days or cold winter hikes.

Another reason for Hydro Flask’s success is the range of sizes and colors they offer. Hydro Flask bottles come in sizes ranging from 12 oz to 128 oz, so you can choose a size that suits your needs. They come in a range of colors and designs, so you can find one that fits your style.

Hydro Flask bottles are also incredibly convenient to use. The wide-mouth design makes it easy to fill and clean, and the screw-on cap ensures that your drink will not spill (if you have kids you know how important a quality lid or cap is). The caps are also insulated, which helps to keep your drink at the desired temperature for longer. You can tell Hydro Flask spent some time and money on R&D when they engineered their bottles, they function and hold well.

These Sound Amazing! Are There Any Downsides to Hydro Flask Bottles?

While Hydro Flask bottles are incredibly popular, there are a few downsides to consider. First, they are relatively expensive compared to other water bottles on the market. However, the high quality and durability of the bottles can make them worth the investment in the long run. If you are looking for alternatives though visit any Target, Costco, Fred Meyer, Ross or even HomeGoods and you’ll find plenty of Hydro Flask knock offs for a fraction of the cost. And our stickers will work on them just as good.

Another potential downside is that Hydro Flask bottles are heavier than other water bottles. This is due to their double-walled insulation, which adds weight to the bottle. However, many people find that the added weight is worth it for the benefits of having their drinks stay cold or hot for hours.

The Exciting Conclusion

Hydro Flask bottles are a great choice for anyone who wants a reliable, durable, and stylish water bottle that can keep drinks cold or hot for extended periods of time. And with the addition of custom Hydro Flask stickers from us here at BYB, you can add a personal touch to your bottle that makes it uniquely yours. Whether you’re hiking in the mountains or commuting to work, a Hydro Flask bottle with custom stickers can help you stay hydrated and refreshed all day long. Cheers!

Responsible & Sustainable Bottled Water

April 1, 2020 by bottleyourbrand Leave a Comment

In celebration of Earth Day 2020 we want to share information on the water bottles and production practices we use. We hope this will illustrate how serious we take the issue of caring for our planet and recycling. With our recycled plastic bottles and energy saving production procedures, we’re doing our best to provide responsible and sustainable custom bottled water. Here’s what you should know about the bottles we ship to our customers.

Recycled plastic bottles made and sourced responsibly for private labeling.

The Material in our Plastic Bottles

Our water bottles are made on site at our production plant from 100% recycled #1 PET plastic pellets. These pellets come from recy cled plastic bottles that have been ground into flakes, then cleaned to get rid of any contaminants. The plastic flakes are converted into pellets which are used to make pre-forms. Next, the pre-forms are melted down and injected into blow molds in the shape of the bottles. A light blue tint is added to the rPET in its raw form because it initially has a gray look, which isn’t too appealing.

Recycled plastic pellets for use in making water bottles. Keeping the recycling loop closed and helping the environment.

By using recycled plastic, it reduces landfill waste and reduces the amount of energy compared to the production of new virgin resin from oil. Our plant has developed a closed loop system that uses less energy whereby each bottle can be recycled or remade repeatedly. This system uses 45% less energy and emits 65% less CO2 than making new plastic bottles.

Closed Loop Recycling

The closed loop model for recycling plastic single use water bottles.

We strive for closed loop recycling, or what is known as bottle to bottle recycling. This type of recycling keeps the plastic pellets from being shipped abroad to countries like China where the pellets are made into any number of products that are likely to end up in a landfill or worse yet, the ocean. In closed loop recycling the bottles are recycled into bottles and this closes the loop.

Reduced Energy for Production

There were 1,890,000 tons of plastic beverage containers American recycled in the US in 2017. When plastic bottles turn back into plastic bottles less new material is being sourced. When that happens less resources are used lowering greenhouse gases, production of toxic material, and all of the energy resources that are used to get virgin material out of the ground in the first place.

… if a food and drink packaging manufacturer ditches virgin plastic in favor of “solid-stated” RPET pellet, it would cut GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions by about half…” Quantifying Benefits of Recycled Plastic

Doing Our Part to Reduce Plastic Waste

We encourage our customers to recycle the bottles they purchase from us. A recycle symbol is included on every label. We could sell virgin plastic bottles like many companies but we choose to use recycled plastic bottles. We’re exploring the option to provide biodegradable plastic bottles and hope to add that to our line up in the future.

Plastic Waste is a Global Issue

The outcry in the U.S. against plastic water bottles leaves out the fact that 60% of the plastic in the ocean comes from Asian countries, and the percentage from countries in Africa is also very high. It’s not the U.S. dumping large amounts of water bottles into the environment. Take a look at this map and see that the U.S. is one of the most diligent countries in the world when it comes to handling plastic waste.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Plastic Bottles

There’s everything right about wanting to reduce waste and cut down on the number of plastic bottles in the environment, but let’s use a reasonable approach and forgo singling out bottled water above all other plastic bottles. Unlike water, which is necessary to life, soft drinks, energy drinks, and juice drinks are left out of the single-use plastic bottle debate. The demonization of plastic water bottles over other plastic bottles needs to be looked at with a level head. Unless you ban all plastic single serve bottles let’s not point fingers at water bottles only.
