BPA Free Bottle Alternatives From Nalgene

  

With all the uproar about potentially dangerous BPAs found in plastics, Nalgene has introduced a line of BPA-free bottles called Nalgene Choice.

Going green, going hiking or going to work – Nalgene makes sure you’re getting the bottle that’s right for you. With the newly enhanced and interactive website, Nalgene Choice consumers can easily determine what bottle and material best fits their individual needs by using comparison charts, bottle-finders and interactive filling stations. 

From HDPE and polyethylene to stainless steel and copolyester, Nalgene Choice showcases the entire BPA free Nalgene product line. This site combines educational materials with interactive technology which allows Nalgene Choice features allow users to:

  • Fill any bottle of choice with liquids ranging from water and apple juice to hot coffee and soda
  • Freeze liquid inside bottle to see effects
  • Heat liquid inside bottle to see effects
  • Add ice to your bottle of choice to see if the average ice cube will fit inside each bottle opening
  • Compare and contrast bottles based on each material’s durability, odor & taste resistance, clarity, temperature range, and dishwasher safety

Overall this is a fun and informational website.  I had a fun time “filling” the Nalgene bottles with digital water, ice and even grape juice.  They also offer a BPA free bottles for children for under $10 each.  It’s nice to see such a company make product changes when the consumer has been asking for BPA free bottles.  I just wish more baby bottle companies would jump on the bandwagon and provide more options for BPA free plastic bottles for our infants.
