Three reusable water bottles that are stylish and good for the environment

WITH 2.5billion single-use plastic bottles going to landfill each year, choosing a reusable water bottle is a small contribution to going green.
For a runner like me, one with a straw is great for sipping on the move, while gym goers may prefer a flip-top.
Either way, they have all got very swanky. Today I put three to the test.
DUAL OPENING
FOR every Ocean Bottle sold, the brand pays to stop the equivalent of 1,000 plastic bottles ending up in the ocean.
What I like about its 1L version is the fact it has a dual opening.
There is the end you drink out of, but it also unscrews lower down so you can use the bigger hole to add in fruit or ice cubes and to clean it properly.
They are made from recycled stainless steel and BPA-free plastic with a double-wall insulation to keep water cool for up to 18 hours. Chunky but solid.

FILTERED
'Queen of Clean' shares genius hack to get smelly water bottles fresh for the new school year, and it's SO easy
THE BottlePro from Tappwater has its own built-in filtration system that removes more than 80 contaminants, including chlorine, microplastics, bacteria, viruses and heavy metals.
Ideal for daily use but great for travel as its Ahlstrom© Refill cartridges have advanced technology to transform non-drinkable water into drinking water.
Available in black and green, it is durable, leak-proof and eco-friendly. It's a smart solution for clean, great-tasting water anywhere.
The £54.90 starter pack comes with a 740ml bottle and a cartridge, which lasts up to two months. It costs £58 for six extra refills.
I've wasted £100s on leaky water bottles so put 7 to the test for back-to-school
Perfect for the holiday season if you're going abroad and worried about drinking foreign tap water.

METAL
CHILLY'S is known for its stainless steel bottles, and its Series 2 Flip Bottle looks stylish as well as being practical.
Made from high-grade stainless steel and double wall insulated, it keeps water cold for 24 hours. It has a sports flip lid and a stainless steel telescopic straw – great for on the go.
The bottle is 100 per cent leakproof with a silicone seal and also has a silent rubber base and an integrated carry nylon loop which is handy for hooking on to things.
These come in 500ml and 1L sizes and 12 colours. Powder-coated for grip. BPA-free, toxin-free and reusable for years. You can have them engraved too for £10, which is cute.
Unlike some bottles they won't crack if they're dropped, either.
