Why Disposable Aluminum Water Bottles Are the Future of Sustainable Hydration
Over the past few years, aluminum water bottles have skyrocketed in popularity. With $1.7M in revenue generated in the United States alone in 2024, disposable aluminum water bottle sales are projected to rise at a CAGR of 2.3% over the next decade.
If you own or operate a business, grab-and-go restaurant, event space, or hotel, there are many compelling reasons to switch from selling or giving away plastic bottles to disposable aluminum water bottles. Read on to find out what they are, the recyclability of aluminum vs. plastic bottled water, and why My Own Water is the premiere option that eco- and brand-conscious companies choose for aluminum bottled water.
Why switch from plastic to disposable aluminum water bottles?
There are many reasons that discerning businesses and brands are switching to aluminum bottled water for their patrons and guests:
- Aesthetics – Let’s be honest: Disposable aluminum water bottles look much more high-end than plastic. Whereas even well-made plastic water bottles with custom labels look like a budget option, aluminum water bottles are sleek and fashion-forward, especially if the company’s name and branding is laser-printed onto the bottle. Moreover, aluminum water bottles retain their look after multiple uses. Consciously or not, discerning customers appreciate the premium look of a aluminum water bottle, and choosing disposable aluminum water bottles will elevate perception of your brand.
- Eco Benefits – While PET plastic, which My Own Water uses in its water bottles, contains more recycled material than regular plastic, there is no comparison between the eco benefits of even PET plastic and aluminum. Aluminum is infinitely recyclable, and over 70% of aluminum in use today has been previously used. By selling or gifting disposable aluminum water bottles, your business is giving its patrons the opportunity to make more earth-conscious choices in their day-to-day lives.
- Long term Reusability and Brand Visibility – Unlike plastic, aluminum water bottles are safe to use and re-use endlessly. This benefits not only your customers, who can either pay or or receive a branded custom water bottle once and use it over and over – it also benefits you. As your patrons re-use your water bottles, both they and everyone they come into contact with will be exposed to your branding. This increased visibility will drive new consumers to your business and keep old ones coming back.
Why are disposable aluminum water bottles infinitely recyclable?
There are many fascinating reasons why aluminum water bottles are infinitely recyclable:
- Material Properties – As a metal, aluminum retains its chemical composition when melted and reformed.
- No Degradation – Plastic bottles are made of polymers, which break down and lose their quality as they are recycled. Aluminum bottles, by contrast, do not degrade, which also means they don’t leak material into the water supply. This is why aluminum retains its shape infinitely, and also why disposable aluminum water bottles are safe for long term use.
- High Value – Because aluminum has high value as a scrap metal, consumers are incentivized to collect it and deposit it in recycling centers for a fee. This creates a closed-loop system wherein large percentages of aluminum are recycled and reused long term.
