Untitled
[edit]Should Nalgene, a brand, really be here? It is well known, but not the majority of water bottles sold.
Reusable water bottles
[edit]Where is the link to reusable water bottles? The bottle that you buy to put water in it such as when you go bike riding. 203.134.124.36 (talk) 05:36, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
Article Bias
[edit]The recent edits are extremely biased towards heath risks of bottles which are clearly available on other pages in Wikipedia Not only is the quality of writing very poor Ie " Do you really think it is healthy to drink water that has been shipped and stored in plastic for up to 6 months?" There are also no references, credible or otherwise. I suggest all changes be reverted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.217.119.151 (talk) 02:41, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
Serious problems
[edit]This article contains a lot of "advice" which is a direct violation of WP:NOTHOW. The tone is informal and essay-like and in several places the reader is directly addressed in phrasing such as "your water bottle", this is unacceptable. Articles must be written in neutral impersonal language. Roger (talk) 13:34, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
Single-use plastic water bottles
[edit]I suggest that the single-use plastic water bottles include the environmental effect of the used water bottles. For example, not all of the plastic water bottles are available to recycle, they will end up in non-biodegradable form and contribute to environmental degradation.[1] --Waxiong (talk) 00:45, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

Microplastics
[edit]Health section needs an update; personal water bottles are considered the primary vector of human ingestion of microplastics. There's solid literature on this already; I think I first ran across this in Scientific American within the last month or so, though I don't recall what they were citing (I read about it on my mobile device, so it's hard to recall the details. Bus or subway reading ...). — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 18:31, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
Evaluation
[edit]The article is well written. The author references many different sources. I think certain sections can be further developed and can incorporate more facts or data. The article had a nice flow and was easy to read. Jkierna6 (talk) 06:05, 11 September 2021 (UTC)Jkierna6
