Botl

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.

Huge amounts of plastic single-use bottles are thrown into landfill or our oceans each year.  We can all make a big difference by not buying single-use plastic bottles. Each plastic bottle of water takes around 2 cups of oil to manufacture, it can leach harmful, toxic chemicals into your drink, it could have been in that bottle for up to 5 years and it could have travelled thousands of miles to get to your supermarket. We only recycle a fraction of disposed plastics. Stainless steel bottles are proven to be the healthiest choice of beverage container.

IT’S GOOD BEING GREEN

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.
