Information on Plastics & Safety

The Wellness H2.O bottle is made of LDPE, which is BPA & Phthalate Free. This material is safe, flexible, and durable, allowing you to replace over 1,000 plastic water bottles that would otherwise be thrown away.

What is the Wellness H2.O made of?

The Wellness H2.O bottle is made of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE). Widely considered the safest of the flexible plastics, LDPE does not leach Bisphenol-A (BPA) or Phthalates. This material is ideal for producing a squeezable, reusable water bottle that is durable enough for every day use.

Why do we use plastic bottles?

This is a common question, especially considering the recent popularity of steel and aluminum bottles. The difference between the Wellness H2.O bottle and reusable metal bottles is that our product contains a 2 micron carbon filter which effectively reduces Chlorine, Lead, THMs and VOCs. In order to properly filter your water, the bottle requires pressure, and the best source of pressure is a good squeeze.

So if you want to carry all your filtered water from home, a reusable metal bottle is certainly an option. But if you want ready access to pure filtered water on the go, without the waste of disposable bottles, the Wellness H2.O is the bottle for you.

What are Bisphenol-A & Phthalates?

(click the links for more information from Wikipedia)

Bisphenol-A (BPA) – A key monomer used in the production of polycarbonate (#7) plastics. An endocrine disruptor or xeno-estrogen. Simulates the action of estrogen when tested in human breast cancer studies. Can leach into food or beverages as container ages or is heated.

Phthalate (di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate or DEHP) - pronounced ‘thal-ate’ – A type of plasticizer compound used in some types of PVC. An endocrine disruptor or xeno-estrogen. Early human and animal studies have raised significant concerns about its safety, especially with the developing fetus and in infants.
