Our New Drink Bottles

No more recycling plastic drink bottles for us.

From the eco essentials website:

Everyone knows the health benefits of drinking lots of liquid. However most people are not aware that buying bottles daily and/or re-filling existing plastic bottles can be harmful and not kind to the planet.

Buying multiple plastic bottles, just like plastic bags, puts a lot of strain on our limited resources. In addition to the environmental effect, the plastic (PET) used in these bottles contains a potentially carcinogenic element (DEHA). Repeated washing and rinsing can cause plastic to break down and the carcinogens can leach into the water we are drinking.




Sigg drink bottles
- Tough & durable (extrusion-pressed from a one-piece aluminium blank, which results in uniform, seamless walls)
- Lightweight & leak proof (excellent choice for people on the move!)
- Practical (parts are recyclable, replaceable, and interchangeable)
- Safe for humans (SIGG interior coating (baked on stove enamel) is resistant to fruit juices and acids, alcohol and isotonic drinks, and does not impart odours or tastes)
- Solvent free-paint (outside coating is solvent-free)
- The internal coating of an original SIGG bottle is the best kept secret of SIGG-Switzerland. It is the only drink bottle in its kind that fulfils the high quality requirements of the FDA (Food & Drug Administration of the US) as well as the Swiss Federal Law on Foodstuffs.

The inside coating contains NO:
- PVC
- phthalates
- polycarbonate
- bisphenol
