(1) The use of 100% rPET to manufacture the bottle creates a unique shaded appearance to each bottle, which other brands have readily dismissed as an ‘imperfection’. We love this perceived imperfection as it gives real credibility and honesty to our approach
(2) Food grade recycled material must be used for any component in contact with food or beverages. Whilst we are initially using virgin material to meet these requirements, our immediate focus following launch will be to source a compatible food grade alternative so that the lid can comprise 100% recycled material
(3) The only part currently sourced outside of the UK is the silicone seal in the lid that ensures the bottle does not leak. However, we are already in conversation with local manufacturers to ensure that the next batch of seals are made in the UK
(4) Processes are now being commercialised to enable the incorporation of post-consumer material into the production of TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane), which we will incorporate into our straps as soon as possible – as well as looking at options to turn the used straps we receive back via our return service into new straps
