CamelBak Better Bottles

In a previous post, Giving up on SIGG: which bottle to choose, we looked at the various types of water bottles available. Plastic was one type, but as noted many plastic reusable bottles have many downsides. Many are made of polycarbonate, which while durable, also is known to leech bisphenol A (BPA). Plastic is also made with non-renewable oil, doesn’t keep drinks too cold, and research shows that people don’t recycle as much plastics as they can (the U.S. standard plastic recycling rate is just 24%). BUT some people really don’t want an aluminum bottle, stainless steel bottle, or glass bottle, so… what to do?

The CamelBak Better Bottle line may be one solution. The Better Bottle is made from a new copolyester polymer called Tritan, made by Eastman. This material offers the same plastic qualities but is 100% BPA free according to CamelBak. Better Bottle Caps are made of Polypropylene – for toughness and sealing performance. The Big Bite Valve on the bottle is made of Medical-Grade non-toxic Silicone – for long life and taste-free performance.

These bottles also come in various styles, sizes, and color choices, along with varying lids to suit your needs. There’s also a kid’s version, made with the same BPA free materials (see below).
