One of the great environmental scourges of our time is plastic waste. Millions of single-use plastic bottles end up in landfills, rivers, and oceans each year, imperiling wildlife and the environment. But the good news is that small, deliberate choices—such as switching to a reusable i9 bottle—can lead to a domino effect that saves our planet.
The Problem of Plastics
Around the world, a million plastic bottles are bought every minute (UNEP).
Just 9% of the plastic ever created has been recycled.
It can take 450 years for a single plastic bottle to break down.
Every individual who instead uses a reusable water bottle can save approximately 167 throwaway bottles each year.
These are the numbers that demonstrate how critically important it is for each of us to question our daily routine.
The i9 Bottle’s Impact
The i9 Bottle isn’t just a reusable bottle—it’s a statement of sustainability. As you replace disposable plastics with an i9 Bottle, you:
Reduce Plastic Waste—One bottle saves hundreds of disposable bottles a year.
Help Support Circular Living—i9. Bottles are made to be used over and over again and not thrown away.
Opt for Mindful Consumption—Every refill is a signal that being eco-friendly is achievable and makes a difference.
Inspire Others—Bring along an i9 Bottle and let your cool, vibrant-looking drinking vessel open the way for sustainability and health conversations.
Green Habits to Integrate with Your i9 Bottle
Optimizing your i9 bottle use goes along with more responsible habits.
Here are a few to try:
Naturally Infused – Say no to sugar and plastic-filled drinks. Squeeze a little fresh lemon, mint, or berries into your i9 Bottle for extra taste.
Refill Points—Look for refill points in public areas or cafes providing free tap refills, rather than purchasing bottled water.
Plan Ahead—Keep your i9 Bottle with you everywhere you go—the gym, office, school, or vacation. It tampers the desire to purchase plastic.
Plot a Challenge – Encourage friends or coworkers to challenge themselves by going one week without bottled water. Keep track of how many bottles you’ve collectively saved.
Stories of Change: Little by Little Makes a Lot
Many i9 Bottle users say that switching has not only shrunk their plastic footprint but also pushed them to adopt other sustainable habits, such as composting or biking instead of driving short distances or using reusable shopping bags.
One customer shared:
“Ever since I started using my i9 Bottle, I’ve quite seriously stopped buying bottled water. I figure that I’ve saved over 300 bottles in one year alone—and it feels good to know that I’m doing my bit for the planet.”
