Switch to a sustainable choice with these reusable travel mugs

Switch to a sustainable choice with these reusable travel mugs

4 min read

Have you ever thought about how many single-use plastic bottles or coffee cups you get through each year? According to recent research, the UK gets through 7.7 billion plastic bottles yearly. And that's not all. Research by the House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee also found that the UK uses around 2.5 billion disposable cups each year.  
So, although switching to a stainless steel travel mug may seem like a small switch, it can make a big difference. Plus, when others see you embracing a reusable cup, you might inspire them to do the same! 
Thankfully, with brands like Ocean Bottle, it’s easy to do our bit to reduce plastic waste. Ocean Bottle is a B Corp-certified reusable bottle brand on a mission to prevent plastic bottles from polluting the ocean. For every award-winning Ocean Bottle sold, 11.4kg of plastic (the equivalent of 1,000 ocean-bound plastic bottles) is collected in coastal areas worldwide where plastic pollution is at its worst. 
As they continue their mission to collect 7 billion bottles by 2025, they recently expanded their product range, launching a thermal travel mug and insulated tumbler
Made from 90% recycled stainless steel and double-wall vacuum-insulated recycled materials, the insulation and push-fit lid keep cold drinks chilled for up to 10 hours and hot beverages warm for up to four. 
As with all Ocean Bottle products, the Travel Mug and Tumbler come with a 10-year warranty, so you can shop with confidence that you're investing in a sustainable switch that will last you a lifetime.

Complete with an ergonomic handle and detachable lid; we wouldn't be surprised if this becomes the only mug you reach for.
