Americans go through about 70 million plastic water bottles every day.
Some of that plastic gets recycled. More of it ends up in landfills, and polluting rivers and oceans. A few more frightening facts:
-
It is estimated that plastic bottles take 450 years to break down in landfills.
-
Plastic breaks down into tiny particles that re-enter the environment through water and soil rather than fully decomposing.
-
Humans consume a credit-card-sized amount of plastic every week through simply eating and drinking.
-
Every molecule of plastic produced in the world since 1907 still exists in the environment
Recycling certainly is better than doing nothing, but with the rate at which we’re using plastic, a more significant impact is made by reducing our dependence on it. Refilling a high-quality, reusable water bottle is a great place to start.
ELEVATING THE QUALITY OF TAP WATER
If you haven’t heard about the trouble with heavy metal contamination in tap water (such as lead), you may want to get caught up. Prolonged exposure to lead has been linked to severe short and long-term health issues, and it’s a serious problem that consumers should be wary of.
If you’re reading this post, it’s probably safe to say that you care about giving eco-friendly corporate gifts. It’s also probably safe to say that you want to give gifts that support a healthy lifestyle for your recipients.

LARQ: CLEAN, SUSTAINABLE HYDRATION

For LARQ, healthy, safe water has always been synonymous with sustainability. Their innovative approach to hydration products helps to improve water quality and allows for the convenience of safe water anywhere - so purchasing a single-use plastic bottle never has to be an option.
Their sustainability efforts as a company are aligned with the planet in mind and have included:
-

LARQ products make thoughtful and unique corporate gifts. Their sleek design and array of practical uses make LARQ products the perfect gifts for your recipients. LARQ’s water filtration products can be decorated with your company’s logo to ensure an association with value and sustainability.
Another fantastic feature: LARQ water bottle lids are interchangeable. If you give a Filtered Bottle, recipients can upgrade their gift in the future by ordering a separate PureVis™ Cap (which, as you’ll remember, uses UV light to neutralize up to 99% of bacteria). This flexibility allows recipients to customize their LARQ bottle to fit their individual lifestyles.
Give your recipients the gift of pure, clean water anywhere they are. LARQ water bottles and pitchers are thoughtful and remarkable corporate gifts that any recipient can use and love repeatedly.
