The Bottle4Future drinking bottle is a good solution for environmentally conscious consumers who are looking for an alternative to plastic bottles. With its reusable glass bottle, it makes it possible to avoid plastic waste. This environmentally friendly feature is definitely one of the main advantages of the product. In addition, the bottle impresses with its shatterproof glass quality, which, in combination with the neoprene protective cover supplied, ensures safe transportation. Whether in everyday life, in the office, during sports, on the bike or when camping – the 500 ml bottle fits easily into any bag and is therefore always ready to hand. The screw-on bamboo lid not only gives the bottle a stylish look, but also keeps the drink cold or hot over a longer period of time and protects it from leaking.

*The maximum score is 100 points
The Bottle4Future drinking bottle has very good product protection thanks to the cylindrical packaging and the neoprene protective cover that comes with the bottle. The packaging is reusable as it is made of sturdy material and can be resealed thanks to the removable lid. The packaging contained the drinking bottle including the bamboo lid and the neoprene protective cover. Unfortunately, the product does not come with instructions for use. Normally, no instructions for use are required for a drinking bottle, but a few notes, such as the fact that the bottle is dishwasher-safe, would have been nice.

*The maximum score is 100 points
The Bottle4Future drinking bottle is highly leak-proof, as the accompanying bamboo lid is very well sealed. The consumer can fill the bottle with half a liter, which can quench a small to medium thirst. However, this makes the drinking bottle very comfortable to carry, as it is relatively “slim” and therefore sits comfortably in the hand. The bottle is very easy to clean by putting it in the dishwasher. The bottle’s good insulation keeps drinks cold or warm for a long time.
