Product Comparison: Water Bottles

I purchased my Kleen Kanteen bottle 5 years ago. It was around P3,000 pesos maybe more.I started avoiding softdrinks a long time ago just because it was both an unnecessary expense and it was an unhealthy habit. I justified the cost of buying an expensive water since I felt it will save me a ton when I do eat in fast food restaurants - I would no longer need to order food that comes with cola. I believe that my savings has since paid for the cost of the water bottle. Given I live in a tropical country it comes in handy with the weather. I mostly just put water in it and I bring it with me everytime. It keeps water cold at least 12 hours even when left in a hot car.

While wasn't looking for another water bottle I just found a product comparison video a waste of time. I was just curious if there was even a difference. While there is a difference what made the video more interesting to me was the B Corporation Certification. This certification was new to me. It's essentially a certification given to products or companies that have high ethical standards in terms of the environment, employee satisfaction, and community development.

The video below start with the explanation of what the B Corporation is all about. I'm glad that Kleen Kanteen is on the list.

Here a link to the B Corporation.
