Why Stainless steel?

We only supply stainless steel reusable water bottles because they are the safest, healthiest and most sustainable option.

Safe and healthy

Research raises concerns that even BPA-free plastic water bottles release hazardous compounds after undergoing wear and tear, such as through dishwashing, microwaving or exposure to sunlight. In most cases, aluminium water bottles dent easily and contain BPA lining, and even BPA-free aluminium water bottles release hazardous compounds.

Stainless steel does not leach, stain or react with the contents put into it. It is durable, reusable, light, easy to carry and virtually indestructible.

Feature of our stainless steel RAW Bottle include:

No Bisphenol A (BPA)
Made of 100% 18/8 food-grade stainless steel
Available in brushed finish with stainless steel threads
Dishwasher safe

Confidence in the supply chain

Our manufacturer is based in mainland China. Bottles are shipped into our UK warehouse by sea freight. We have searched all over the world for the highest quality bottle manufacturers and we ensure that our manufacturers continually maintain high standards of quality in production and ensure safe and compliant working conditions.

The manufacturer works to BS EN ISO9000 quality standards and with regular material conformance tests through external accredited bodies. Our manufacturer maintains BSCI approval which is the control of environmental compliance, working conditions and social compliance and we ensure they maintain high levels of social and ethical responsibility.

We have a small team of dedicated quality personnel based in China who manage our procurement and quality inspections at source and we carry out further inspection and sampling on products in our UK warehouse and record quality performance of all of our products through a closed-loop corrective action system.

Why import from China?

We have tried to source products in the UK or Europe but haven’t been able to find a fit-for-purpose (high quality) supplier.

The raw materials for stainless steel mostly come from China anyway. They have the latest high-tech equipment and tools for the job, and can supply at competitive rates. The bottles are printed or laser-etched in the UK and we aspire to work with a UK manufacturer as soon as this option is available.

Etch or Print?

We recommend the laser-etched bottles for two main reasons. Firstly, from a durability perspective, there is no chance that the logo will chip or wear off over time. Secondly, the production process for etching is far cleaner and has less environmental impact. The colour-printing process requires solvent-based inks to adhere to the bottle, using toxins that can be avoided in etching.

We understand that many brands wish to standout, and the most important concern is replacing single-use with re-use. So, if you choose to print, then you’re still joining our mission to free the world from pointless plastic.
