BPA Can Leech from Plastic Water Bottles
Initially creating a number of household goods including beds, sporting goods and water bottles, since 1999 SIGG has concentrated exclusively on producing the world’s finest aluminium water bottles, kids bottles, stainless bottles and sports bottles. Their commitment to the environment is second to none. By using advanced production techniques and regularly donating to environmental programs, SIGG hopes to pave the way for other organisations to do the same. Through the 1% for The Planet program, SIGG donates 1% of all its sales to environmentally sustainable projects. SIGG’s actions will hopefully pave the way for other organisations to follow suit. By buying a SIGG water bottle, you are not only purchasing a great product, but directly contributing to protecting the environment as well.
BPA is a term normally used when describing plastic and in particular plastic water bottles. Bisphenol A, or BPA as it is often referred, is a dangerous chemical commonly found in the plastic of conventional water bottles. Plastic bottles become a serious issue for one’s health. When reused or heated, BPA can leech into the water, causing adverse health problems including irregular endocrine levels, thyroid issues and even neurological issues. Happily, all SIGG water bottles are BPA free.
EcoCare, is found within every SIGG bottle. EcoCare is SIGG’s own specially formulated bottle lining. EcoCare’s technologically advanced construction ensures that it is not only leach proof, but also resistant to odours, acids and flavours. This ensures that no flavours or odours from previously consumed energy drinks, alcohol, fruit juice and soft drinks are left in the bottle the next time you use it. Try getting the same results from a regular plastic water bottle after leaving an energy drink in it overnight! All SIGG aluminium water bottles, be it the SIGG kids range, the SIGG stainless range, the SIGG classic range or even the Sigg SteelWorks range, are made from a seamless piece of aluminium. This seamless construction creates a BPA free water bottle that is incredibly durable and leak proof.
