You may have seen the growing trend of stainless steel bottles. When people found out that Nalgenes commonly were made out of plastic number 7–a plastic that could give off BPA– many people started using stainless steel bottles or other plastic bottles. Some of you may think that these stainless steel bottles were a brand new innovation–that people have not been using these bottles. However, this is not true.
Many people buy their metal bottles from the brand SIGG. These Swiss bottles have been manufactured ever since 1908, when metal processing specialist Ferdinand Sigg made an aluminum product factory. In 1990, the SIGG bottle got a new shape, and was even incorporated into the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
SIGG bottles are tough on the outside, but they are also durable on the inside. They are resistant to fruit juice acids, energy drinks, alcohol, and more. Because the liners are taste and scent neutral, you won’t have any lingering smell or taste of the last drink you had. SIGG bottles have exceeded FDA requirements and have been tested to ensure 0.0% leaching.
Now that Americans have gotten into being green and saving the planet, SIGG has become even more commercial. You can buy SIGGs all over the place, and you even can order them online.
They are pretty expensive–20-30 dollars. However, SIGG isn’t the only company that produces these bottles, so shop around. They are safe, sturdy, and best of all, reusable. So stop buying throw away bottles, and look into buying a SIGG.
