DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, June 14, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ekotribe has launched eco-friendly water bottles that are a healthy and sustainable alternative to plastic and aluminum bottles. According to Anu Agarwal, Director of Ekotribe,"Approximately 1.5 million barrels of oil, enough to run 100,000 cars for a year, are used to make plastic water bottles worldwide. EcoUsable is a market leader in manufacturing eco-friendly water bottles and we are delighted to bring their range of products to the Middle East region."
Over 60 million plastic water bottles go into landfills every day. Countless more end up in our oceans and waterways. Plastic waste in our oceans now equals nearly twice the size of the continental U.S. Researchers have found fish that have as many as 17 different pieces of plastic in their stomachs, which are known carcinogens and hormone disrupters. Ingesting contaminated fish can cause illness in birds and humans.
EcoUsable bottles are environmentally safe and made of 304 Food Grade Stainless Steel which is non-leaching and BPA-Free. EcoUsable bottles are extremely lightweight, meant for any cold beverage and offered in 3 sizes:
10oz -- So kids can have their 'own' bottle to include with their lunch boxes
16oz -- Original size bottle with universal appeal
33oz -- Great for travel, the gym or those with a big thirst
- Over 50 different bottle colors and designs to choose from
- Bottles feature a simple half-turn loop top for very easy on/off access
- Bottles include a skid proof black mat bottom
- Bottles also come with a carabiner so you can attach it to your purse, buckle or backpack
