Drinking through a straw rather than tipping a bottle back is the practical argument for the Avira Ara. The fliptop lid opens with a thumb and the built-in straw lets you drink while cycling, training or sitting at a desk without breaking position, on a 500 ml recycled stainless steel body.

Double-wall vacuum construction keeps water chilled for up to 20 hours, so a bottle filled in the morning is still cold at the end of a shift or a long drive. The diameter is designed to fit most standard car cup holders. It is made with RCS certified recycled stainless steel and RPP, reaching a total recycled content of 96 percent based on item weight, and it is BPA free. The FSC certified kraft box can be repurposed as a phone holder, pencil holder or flower pot, and colours include black, blue, white and silver.

The sports-oriented lid points it at fitness and wellbeing programmes, running and cycling teams, gym memberships and health insurance campaigns, as well as field and logistics staff who spend the day in a vehicle. It is a credible sustainability gift for conferences and trade fairs because the recycled content is certified rather than implied.

Laser engraving on the steel gives a lasting mark that survives daily washing. MerchRepublic prepares the artwork, produces branded bottles in the quantities your programme needs and delivers across the EU, to one address or several.
