Summit International, the official distributor of MyBento sustainable and environmentally friendly drink bottles, has announced it will be supporting the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) in connection with its new pure MyBento Glass bottle.

For each MyBento Pure glass bottle sold in the UK, Summit International will donate £1 to MCS as part of the #StopthePlasticTide appeal. The appeal aims to reduce plastic litter choking, starving and poisoning marine life.

The new MyBento Pure glass bottle is being launched to the UK & European retail trade in April 2018. This durable, transparent bottle is made from high quality borosilicate glass which resists heat, harsh chemicals and corrosion, ensuring that they stay looking stylish, even after continuous use.

MyBento Pure refillable glass bottles are BPA free and ensure a fresh taste whether used for a hot or cold drink. Users can save money and the earth’s resources by investing in an economical, reusable and recyclable glass bottle.

“The work MCS are doing is so important to the UK and beyond,” commented Richard Taylor, Sales Director at Summit International. “In our support of MCS, we are committed to educating consumers on how they can help reduce pollution in our seas by using refillable drinks bottles and we are proud to be making a small impact on this highly important matter and worthwhile cause.”

The Marine Conservation Society (MCS) is the leading UK charity for the marine environment, which has surveyed and cleaned UK beaches for twenty-five years to show the massive problem of marine litter. They have found plastic bottles - many of them likely to have been used just once - as one of the top twenty items found on beaches. MCS is now calling for urgent action to put a stop to the tide of plastic in our seas and on our shores - see more about their campaign at www.mcsuk.org/stop-the-plastic-tide.  

"MCS is delighted to see the launch of the MyBento Pure glass water bottle, from Summit International, and to receive donations through its sales. With our Stop The Plastic Tide campaign in full swing it's great to see brands like MyBento offering a viable alternative to using single-use plastics, which are causing so much harm to our marine environment. We wish them well in their launch and will look forward to seeing MyBento in the shops!" said Sanjay Mitra, Corporate Partnerships Manager at the Marine Conservation Society.
