Sustainable Water Bottle Alternatives

At Elixr, we’re committed to creating a healthy, safe, and environmentally conscious space and we’re encouraging our community to rethink their go-to drinkware. While plastic bottles may be convenient, their environmental impact is not.

While some people turn to glass as an eco-friendlier upgrade, glass can be fragile in a busy club setting (as we’ve learned more than once!). So today, we’re spotlighting the best non-plastic, non-glass water bottle alternatives that are sustainable, durable, and perfect for a dyamic environment like ours.

Stainless steel

Stainless steel bottles are a favourite because they’re tough. Whether you’re lifting weights, flowing through yoga, or dashing between reformer and reception, you don’t have to worry about cracks, chips, or shattering.

Why we love it:

  • Ultra-durable and impact-resistant
  • Keeps drinks cold for hours
  • Naturally BPA-free
  • Lightweight and sleek

Stainless steel is one of the safest, most sustainable swaps out there, and it looks great in a gym bag.

e.g Bloch Stainless Steel Drink Bottle

BPA Free Plastic

Not all plastics are created equal. High-quality, BPA-free reusable bottles offer a lighter-weight alternative that’s surprisingly long-lasting and kinder to the environment than single-use options.

Why it’s a great choice:

  • Lightweight and easy to carry
  • Affordable
  • Won’t break or shatter
  • Dishwasher safe

If you want something practical and fuss-free, BPA-free plastic is still a solid upgrade

e.g Hybrid Athlete Bottle

Silicone Collapsible Bottles

Silicone bottles are becoming a sustainability favourite thanks to their convenience and size. They’re soft, durable, and compress down when empty, making them ideal for commuters and travellers.

Why to try it:

  • Flexible, durable, and virtually unbreakable
  • Collapsible design saves space
  • Great for gym bags, carry-ons, or everyday use
  • Food-grade silicone is safe and long-lasting

e.g BA Collapsible Water Bottle

Copper or alkaline metal bottles

Copper bottles have roots in traditional health practices and are known for their natural antibacterial properties. They’re also incredibly durable and stylish.

Benefits include:

  • No risk of breaking
  • Naturally antimicrobial
  • Long lifespan
  • Unique, premium aesthetic

e.g Polished Copper Water Bottle
