Eco-friendly water bottles are made from eco-friendly raw materials such as glass, plant-based plastics, and paper. Manufacturers focus on adopting bio-based plastics, recyclable metals, and glass to manufacture these bottles. Further, bio-based plastics are made from renewable materials, such as soy and corn, rather than fossil fuels. Bio-based products reduce reliance on fossil fuels by using renewable resources. Eco-friendly water bottles are increasingly used in various commercial spaces, such as workshops, pool houses, hotels, gyms & other sports facilities, spas & beauty salons, and hospitals & medical facilities.
Eco-friendly water bottles are increasingly substituting the existing demand for bottled water. It encourages manufacturers to adopt new technologies in producing eco-friendly solutions. For instance, Chilly's—a manufacturer of eco-friendly bottles, introduced new technologies, such as “used carry loop” technology so that consumers can comfortably hold and easily carry bottles from one place to another and the antimicrobial (an additive that reduces microbes by 99.99%) drinking collar on the bottle is soft-to-touch, perfectly shaped for sipping, and hygienic. Further, 100% leak-proof technology, rotating lock mechanism, rubber base, thermal capabilities, and double-walled technology with vacuum insulation allow keeping coffee, cocoa, or chamomile tea hot are a few of the benefits of various eco-friendly water bottles. Therefore, the rise in such technological developments augments the growth in demand for eco-friendly water bottles.
With new features and technologies, vendors attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the South America eco-friendly water bottle market at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.
