An Aussie mum is baffled as to why some schools have banned metal drink bottles as the move away from plastic continues.
Melbourne TikToker Olivia White uploaded a video questioning the decision after the ban was enforced at the schools of her friends' kids.
The topic has divided the internet with the mum inundated with a wide range of responses as to why the ban is in place.
'Does anyone know why schools are banning metal drink bottles?' Ms White began.
'Mine has not but I've seen people other people posting on Instagram that they can't take metal drink bottles.'

Ms White believes that the bottle ban 'doesn't make any sense'.
'I don't understand why,' she continued.
'I thought we weren't doing plastic. All of mine are metal. Is the answer really obvious?'
She has received hundreds of messages from people saying that their schools have concerns about children throwing them.
Others said that the bottles were banned because they weighed down students' bags.
'I put that (post) up and I've had so many people saying they have banned them,' Ms White told Yahoo News
