Wave Bottle (made from insulated stainless steel)

Wave Bottle is a quality reusable water bottle, made from insulated stainless steel, from a company that makes wheat straw biodegradable phone cases.  Not just stunning to look at, but it can keep drinks cold for 24 hours and hot for 12 hours.

It holds 600ml of water (the average intake is 2 bottles per day, to keep you hydrated – possibly for more hot weather or athletes).

The insulated screw cap, makes this bottle easy to fill and clean. It’s sent in tissue paper and an easy-to-recycle sleeve, to keep it safe in transit.

This bottle was designed by two friends, who grew up in a small town in northeast England. They saw first-hand the effects of plastic pollution, so decided to do something to help. Everything is sent in sustainable packaging, and profits help to support the charity Surfers Against Sewage.

How much water should we drink?

The average adult needs around 1.2 litres per day (more in hot weather or after vomiting or diarrhoea). That’s around six 200ml glasses. So drink two glasses when you wake up, have two more before lunch, and two more before dinner. Add more per glass of wine or beer, or per tea, coffee or cola.

Wash and rinse pet bowls daily. Avoid fizzy water or guzzling water after runs or car trips (to prevent bloat). Don’t let pets drink from puddles (due to bacteria, oil, antifreeze). For outdoor pets, ensure drip-feed bottles are not blocked or frozen.
