Klean Kanteen Reusable Bottles

Reusable bottles have received much attention of late due to concerns over BPA in some forms of plastic reusable bottles.  The concerns have sent consumers looking for alternatives to their plastic bottles. 

Klean Kanteen has a strong following within the green community and the brand is beginning to gain recognition in larger circles thanks to its high quality stainless steel products.

Klean Kanteen makes a whole line of stainless steel drinking bottles including a sippy cup for infants.

All of their products are made from high quality, sanitary grade 304 stainless steel. 304 has a low nickel content and is preferred by breweries and dairies. 304 stainless steel is easy to clean, durable, inert and sanitary. It is also environmentally correct - since stainless steel does not require harsh cleaners to clean the surface, there is little to no production waste that could have an environmental impact.

Klean Kanteens come with a variety of options for the top made of #5 PP (polypropylene) plastic because it has no known leaching characteristics and is softer on your mouth and teeth if you hit a bump on the trail. If you’d rather avoid plastic altogether, a stainless steel screw-on lid is available as an accessory.

I use several reusable bottles and have used the 27 oz Klean Kanteen in my office for over a year.  The bottle is tall and slim comes with the "sports cap" top. Klean Kanteens are designed with the user in mind with wide necks so you can put ice cubes in them easily, they fit most bicycle water bottle cage/carriers and are lightweight.  My 27oz one only weighs 8oz.

Sustainable is Good Products has also covered other safe reusable bottle alternatives including the new Nalgene plastic bottles made from #2 HDPE non-leaching plastic and several products by SIGG including the new Oval Flask.

Klean Kanteen's become MASSIVELY popular in the past year. More and more vendors are carrying them, and demand regularly outpaces supply.

I know we can't keep them in stock for long, and most of our competition is in the same boat. As they increase production, they'll be ubiquitous!

Hey hey - Yes, these are cool! I got one..well, actually I got five. They come in different sizes and I like the flat cap kind the best (i got all the styles to see). A lot easier to drink out of since you can't squeeze it!! FYI, for those looking for it I got mine at http://www.877myjuicer.com - it was a bit cheaper than getting it direct from the klean canteen site.

One thing I should point out about BPA - it also blocks chemotherapy drugs from working (not that chemo works well anyhow) but for some cancers, chemo works very well - but not with BPA in your system. Nice photo ;) I made that a few months ago for my former website! Klean Kanteens are awesome and I've been providing them for about 3 yrs now - back then I could barely sell them. Now I had to buy an entire container to keep them in stock. So if you need some Klean Kanteens with the Original Steel Caps on them - we got 'em. You can get them here at http://www.healthegoods.com/product/klean-kanteen-stainless-steel-water-bottles-all-sizes You know they switched to Polypropylene caps yes? Well - we have the Steel caps as a standard option to purchase the bottles. Saves you from throwing the plastic cap in the trash - not very sustainable... In health, Dr Ben

I just bought two Klean Kanteen bottles from www.youshouldgogreen.com and I love them! They had some great colors and good prices. This is a great way to reduce plastic in landfills!
