As most readers will by now know aluminum water bottle makers Sigg and Laken have now finally publicly acknowledged what many have suspected and that is that water bottles made and sold until recently were lined with an epoxy resin containing Bisphenol-A (BPA).
In scientific studies, BPA is often linked to health issues such as heart disease, cancers, infertility, obesity, and diabetes. It is also seen as a hormone disruptor as it appears to mimic estrogen and can lead to hormone imbalance in boys.
In response to this news, EcoUsable, pioneers of the world’s first stainless filtered water bottle, are excited to launch the “Make The Switch” campaign. This campaign encourages consumers with aluminum water bottles to “Make The Switch” to EcoUsable stainless steel, BPA-free water bottles produced with no lining at all.
“Our customers’ health is the number one concern,” said Joey Mendelsohn, President and CEO of EcoUsable, Inc. “The news about our competitors has been disturbing, however, we’re proud to offer consumers a safe way to live a healthier, eco-friendly lifestyle.”
As part of the “Make The Switch” campaign, EcoUsable is offering a 20% discount to all consumers that purchase an EcoUsable stainless steel water bottle from http://www.EcoUsable.com/MakeTheSwitch through October 31, 2009.
This year, EcoUsable also introduced The ECH2O, the world's only stainless steel bottle that includes its own portable filtration system that provides high quality, great tasting filtered water on the go. Each filter, filters up to 100 gallons of water, approximately six months of use with an average yearly savings of more than $1,600.
Offered in a variety of colors, these bottles can also be customized with EcoUsable’s flagship product, the Water Wrapz™, a removable and reusable band to identify your water bottle.
There are a lot of personal water bottles on the market today, but not all metal bottles are made from 100% stainless steel; in fact the great majority are aluminum with a liner, the majority of which, you can be assured, still contain the same BPA in their epoxy liner.
EcoUsable bottles are made with 304 food grade (18/8) stainless steel, being the highest, making it the most common for food preparation cookware and incision scalpels. EcoUsable bottles also feature a one of a kind simple half-turn loop that ensures a safe, bacteria free and germ free bottle, while most bottles require 3-6 turns to open. In more than 50 colors and designs, there is an EcoUsable water bottle for everyone.
While we still have to see a sample of the EcoUsable bottles for test and review the fact that the bottle is made of 18/8 stainless makes it the best choice compared to any other non-stainless steel metal bottle.
