Dopper, Stanley, Retulp and BE O bottle: these are the differences

Reusable drinking bottles are a great alternative to disposable plastic bottles. They are being used more and more and that is good news! After all, a sustainable bottle as a corporate gift is a powerful statement for a greener world. But with well-known brands like Dopper, Stanley, Retulp and BE O bottle, it can be hard to choose. Each brand has its own mission, materials and features. Hopefully, we will help you get started in this blog.

Why sustainable drinking bottles?

Giving your business relations or colleagues a sustainable drinking bottle shows that you care for the earth. The bottles are made of materials with minimal impact on the environment. Moreover, you encourage the receivers to drink from a reusable bottle instead of plastic ones. Last but not least, a water bottle looks luxurious, which makes it perfect as a business gift!

 

Water bottles or thermos flasks

First, it is useful to ask yourself whether you are going for a water bottle or a thermos. The difference? Water bottles, the name says it all, are great for carrying water or other drinks at room temperature. Thermos bottles have a double wall to keep the contents hot or cold for a longer period of time. The right choice if your business relations or colleagues drink a lot of coffee and tea.

 

Brands with a mission

Dopper

With its simple, recognisable design, Dopper is the classic among sustainable drinking bottles. Made of recycled plastic and stainless steel, the bottles have a clever removable cap that can be used as a cup. Dopper's mission? To end the plastic soup in our oceans. With every bottle sold, Dopper also contributes to clean water projects, meaning your purchase makes an immediate impact.

 

Stanley

You've probably seen a bottle from Stanley before. Its nostalgic and robust design gives it an iconic look. Stanley's bottles have a leak-proof cap, are dishwasher-safe and keep your drinks at temperature for hours. ‘Built for life’ is Stanley's motto. The bottles are made of sturdy material so they can last a lifetime. So you never have to throw away your bottle, which is of course extremely sustainable!

 

Retulp

Retulp bottles are incredibly trendy and popular. A Retulp bottle not only makes you look stylish, it also shows that sustainability is important to you. With stainless steel as material, you are assured of a sturdy and recyclable bottle, free of harmful substances. Like Dopper, the brand aims to drastically reduce the plastic soup. Single-use is outrageous, according to Retulp. Using reusable bottles is good for yourself, others and the planet.

 

BE O bottle

BE O bottle is part of BE O Lifestyle. A brand that markets products that are climate-positive. During production, therefore, more CO2 is absorbed than emitted. Furthermore, a tree is planted for every bottle sold. BE O bottle's unique Dutch water bottles are made of sugar cane. You will recognise the bottles by the hook on the white cap and the well-thought-out design with the separate parts.

 

Sustainable drinking bottles printed

Each of the bottles from Dopper, Stanley, Retulp and BE O bottle can be printed with your logo, text or design. Whether engraved or printed in full colour, the eye-catching bottles are guaranteed to put your brand or organisation in the spotlight. Besides, an engraved or printed bottle is much more fun to give and receive. Win-win! On the product pages you will find all printing options.

And now?

Ideally, we would like to tell you which bottle is the best choice for you. Unfortunately, we can't say much about that, because we don't know what your requirements are and what is important to you. How many bottles do you need? What will the recipients use the bottles for? Which story appeals most to you? Based on these questions, some bottles will probably already fall off. Then think about which bottles fit your logo or design. And then it's also a matter of taste.... Hopefully you will get a long way with making a choice, but feel free to contact us if you are not quite there. We are happy to think along with you!
