Plastic is forever: unless incinerated, every piece of plastic on the planet will be around for hundreds, maybe even thousands of years. Not only that, but plastics contain toxic materials like BPA that have been linked to disease like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. In 2004, Klean Kanteen introduced their water bottle made from stainless steel to give health and environmentally conscious people an alternative to plastic. Today, Klean Kanteen continues with their commitment to excellence, offering 18/8 food-grade stainless steel bottles free of epoxy lining and BPA. We love Klean Kanteen not just for their commitment to our health and environment, but also their high labor standards. They work closely with their factories in China to reduce the impact of the manufacturing process and make regular, unannounced visits in order to uphold the highest labor standards including fair minimum wage, child labor laws, health and safety, and ethical treatment of all employees.
