Open Water Still Bottled Water in 16-oz Aluminum Bottles - Eco

In this review the reviewer looks at the Open Water Still bottled water in 16-oz aluminum bottles and finds it best for people who want a reusable, recyclable alternative to plastic bottles. The single biggest reason to choose these is that the water pairs a clean, electrolyte-balanced taste with sustainable, infinitely recyclable aluminum packaging and a resealable cap, making it useful for daily hydration, the gym, commuting or emergency storage.

Key Features

• 100% recyclable aluminum: The aluminum bottle and cap are recyclable and designed to be recycled more often than plastic or glass, which reduces single-use plastic waste.

• Electrolyte-enhanced taste: The water is ultra-purified and blended with electrolytes for a clean, balanced taste that is easy to drink after activity.
• Climate Neutral certified: The company measures, reduces, and offsets carbon emissions and supports ocean conservation through 1% for the Planet contributions.
• Long-term emergency storage: When stored in a dry environment between about 35 and 90 degrees F, these bottles are suitable for emergency water reserves.
