Clean Sips

Think your bottled water is clean? Think again.

Recent research reveals that a single liter of bottled water may contain hundreds of thousands of nanoplastic particles—many so tiny they can enter your body without a trace. Everyday actions like opening the cap, leaving bottles in the sun, or exposing them to heat can dramatically increase plastic release into your drink.

The simple switch to stainless steel or glass bottles at home can significantly reduce your daily exposure to microplastics—protecting your health and the planet.
