Maria Knobel,Medical Director atMedical Cert UK, recommends stainless steel water bottles.

That said, if you want a sturdy and lightweight bottle Edwards says Tritan plastic is a good option.

Its BPA-free, impact-resistant, and safe for the dishwasher, making it perfect for kids and active use.

Glass is also stable and safe, but its less durable than stainless steel.

We like glass bottles wrapped in silicone for extra durability.

According toRyan Crisp, Senior Engineer at Priority Designs, glass and stainless steel are the most eco-friendly options.

Glass can be easily recycled, he says, but its also heavy and fragile.

Stainless steel is highly durable and long-lasting, making it another great choice.

Look for an insulated stainless steel or glass bottle to carry hot water.
