The company was started in 2006 when I was looking for a drinks bottle for my son to take to school each day. I had worked as an industrial chemist in Europe and Asia and was aware of the chemical composition of plastics and how readily compounds could leach into drinks. 304-grade stainless steel is the most inert, safe and toxin-free material around and I started buying bottles and lunchboxes for friends and family.We are officially a Certified B-Corporation – our organisation conforms to the highest levels of social and environmental requirements. We are purpose-led and purpose-focused, through and through, green by design.Good for all life. Better for our planet, best for your life and if you look after your bottle it will have a long life. Our amazing customers have saved billions of single-use plastic water bottles from entering our oceans or landfill, plus we have committed to removing 50 plastic bottles from ocean-bound rubbish for every single bottle sold.We are making caps from recycled, discarded fishing nets and sea-harvested plastics and we have a zero plastic supply chain. Over 60% of the plastic pollution originates in Asia/Pacific where a huge portion of this is production by-product. Where you can, ask your suppliers to aim for zero plastic supply chains – it would have an enormous effect on plastic waste.
