Need Water? Need an H2Onya!

Unique set
of eco-friendly water bottles launched by Onya Bag
creators
Sleek, curvaceous and immensely practical, the newest addition to the eco-friendly Onya range is the H2Onya, a stainless steel, reusable bottle which is designed to be a constant companion – saving money and the planet at the same time.
Available in five different sizes, from a compact 350ml through to a robust 1.2 Litre model, this reusable bottle is durable enough to last a lifetime.
Fashioned from a single piece of stainless steel, the bottle is easy to clean and free from nasty chemicals such as Bispehnol A (BPA) which, over time can leach from plastics and aluminium and contaminate the contents of the bottle.
Ergonomically designed, which means it’s easy to hold (for both big and
small hands), the H2Onya comes with a choice to two different lids; a
sipper cap or a traditional twist cap which includes a handy carabineer
clip.
With more than 500,000 Onya reusable bags sold to date
in the UK, founder of the eco-aware brand, Dan Brousson decided to
launch the H2Onya in a bid to help tackle the growing issue of waste
from discarded plastic bottles.
“Bottled water has become
ingrained in our culture despite its enormous cost to the environment.
Throwaway plastic bottles account for around 10 billion tonnes of
landfill every year. The idea behind the H2Onya is simple; carry your
own water bottle to reduce your own plastic-footprint. It’s a simple
action which will make a genuine difference to the environment if
enough people do it.”
Substituting a refillable bottle with a
bottled water purchase will save more than just the environment too as
Brousson rightly points out.
“Often buying a small bottle of
water is more expensive than petrol when you consider the cost per
litre. Carrying your own bottle of water makes financial sense if
nothing else. A good quality reusable bottle – such as one made from
stainless steel like the H2Onya- will pay for itself over and over
again.”
With a lifespan of around 100 years, the H2Onya is
a bottle-for-life. But even then, as stainless steel is the most
recycled commodity in the world, it still shouldn’t contribute to
landfill.

REUSABLE PACKAGING
The H2Onya is not just an eco-minded individual’s best friend….it’s also a WOMBLE’S delight!
Wasteful
packaging is a no-go area for the Onya team, therefore, the H2Onya is
packaged in a clever and practical tube which can either be recycled
or, if you have Womble-like tendencies, used in a variety of ways -
from storage container to art project, moneybox, vase, musical
instrument, dog toy…the only limit is your creativity.
