In this post, we’ll:
– Compare Factory Direct Promos’ plastic shaker bottles with Aegle Sriphal’s bamboo gym shakers
– Highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each
– Show why switching to bamboo is not just a trend—it’s a game of long-term fitness and eco-conscious living
– Reveal how you can personalise custom wholesale bottles for your brand or gym
Plastic vs Bamboo: A Side-by-Side Comparison
| Feature | Plastic Shaker Bottles | Bamboo Gym Shakers |
|---|---|---|
| Material | BPA-free AS plastic | 100% natural, sustainably harvested bamboo |
| Durability | Prone to scratches, staining, retention of odours | Hard-wearing surface; resists odour and staining |
| Environmental Impact | High (single-use, microplastics) | Low (biodegradable, renewable resource) |
| Customisation | Logo imprint, coloured lids & balls | Laser engraving, natural finish, limited colour use |
| Weight | Lightweight but flimsy | Slightly heavier, robust feel |
| End-of-Life | Recyclable (but often ends up in landfill) | Compostable or repurposed into eco-products |

Aegle Sriphal’s Bamboo Gym Shakers
At Aegle Sriphal, our mission is simple: empower eco-conscious fitness. We’ve crafted a line of bamboo gym shakers that tick all the boxes:

The smooth grain of bamboo feels luxe in your hand. It ages gracefully, telling a story of every workout.
