A water bottle retail company in Jonesborough, Newry has announced their official company launch. The company provides bottles that are designed to help the environment. They state that plastic bottles are a huge threat to the environment. Recent news has shown that there are huge amounts of plastic bottles in the sea that are currently disrupting wildlife.
Maebh Collins, a representative for the company says, “In order to change the harm done to the environment, we have to break away from single use plastic bottles and lean toward using sustainable reusable bottles.”
Collins states that her shop was launched in order to make this possible. She states that they offer a reusable bottle for those who want a sports bottle, kids’ bottle or just an attractive bottle that will match their wardrobe. She says that all bottles are high quality and designed for longevity and to be environmentally friendly.
“We have a wide range of bottles from which our customers can choose,” says Collins. “These are designed to provide the best possible alternative to plastic bottles. Our goal is to help everyone to go plastic-free and enjoy zero waste with a gorgeous, stylish bottle that does not compromise their quality or their environment.”
Collins says that the company also offers free shipping for all orders over £15 for UK customers. She adds that more on their selection of bottles and the company in general can be seen on their company Facebook page.
A recently produced television documentary titled “A Plastic Ocean” outlines the dangers of plastic bottles to ocean life. According to a recent study, there are approximately 1,500 plastic bottles used in the United States alone for water. This does not include those used for sodas and other drinks. This number is nearly identical in the UK and in other countries. It is estimated that at the current rate of these bottles in oceans, the world’s fish will become outnumbered by weight by 2050 by bottle waste. The documentary shows the dangers that plastic bottles pose to the oceans, including the fact that birds like the albatross often mistake the caps of those bottles for food. Recent videos on various social media channels have shown the dangers of plastic soda bottle holders to turtles, as well Collins states that it has gotten out of hand and that if something is not done soon, the oceans will become overrun with this waste.
She says that because of this, they decided to open shop and offer reusable bottles. The company states that their main goal is to help their customers to become a more positive factor in the environment. In addition, Collins says that plastic bottles can often contain chemicals that are unsafe for people. Drinking water from a plastic bottle that has been left in a vehicle on a hot day for instance, can unleash these chemicals, which can be very harmful. Collins states that not only are their bottles safe for the environment, they are much safer for their customers to use as opposed to traditional plastic bottles.
The company states that they hope consumers will follow them in their quest to save ocean life. Collins says that they offer a wide range of bottle choices for all needs and occasions, and she says that they have something to fit every budget and every lifestyle. She adds that those who are interested can visit Water Bottle Shop on their official website to see their vast selection of bottles and to learn more about why the company started their campaign to replace plastic bottles with those of a higher quality and safer material.
Those interested can visit the company on their website or any of their social media pages or contact them directly with any questions. Collins states that their bottles are targeted toward those primarily in the United Kingdom but states that customers from all over the world are welcome to visit them to learn more about their products and their goal of removing plastics from the seas.
