While it's important to stay hydrated at work, using single-use cups and plastic bottles can be very damaging over time. If your office has a water filtration system, consider getting rid of the cups and instead encourage your employees to fill up their reusable metal bottles. This easy switch can benefit your business in the following ways.

Why You Should Use Reusable Water Bottles

1. Healthier & More Productive Employees

When someone is physically at their best, they're also likely at their best mentally. While numerous factors impact health, increasing one's water intake is always beneficial. To maximize these health benefits, invest in a high-quality water filtration system, and even consider giving your employees reusable bottles to refill.

2. Less Office Waste

If a majority of your employees use single-use cups and bottles, the waste will pile up, even if you have dedicated recycling bins in the break room. If there's too much, it could keep the office in a perpetual state of disarray. To minimize the amount of waste your business creates, promote reusable bottles.

3. Better Environment

By reducing your employees' reliance on single-use cups and bottles, you're helping the environment. When fewer plastics are used, fewer end up in landfills, the ocean, and animal habitats. Plastics don't decompose, and their long-presence can radically alter many different ecosystems. Even if recycling programs exist in your area, you can always do more for the environment by limiting the overall use of plastics.
