This unique unbreakable water bottle keeps liquids cold up to 12 hours without sweating! It features a comfortable rubber hand grip for secure handling, a push button, flip-top lid for drinking, and a locking clasp to prevent accidental opening. The lid assembly completely unscrews for easy cleaning and filling. Plus, we have monogrammed it with our distinctive logo.
Save money on refills and help the environment at the same time. By using and Reusing this bottle you will Reduce the energy, resources, and greenhouse gas emissions that are required to make the bottles and ship them over long distances. Plus, the stainless steel in our bottle is 100% recyclable and will break down into its natural elements in a landfill. Not to mention that according to the Stainless Steel Industry of North America (www.ssina.com), between 65 and 80 percent of stainless steel comes from post-consumer, re-melted stainless steel.

Currently, 80 to 90% of the water bottles used in the United States end up in a landfill according to the Container Recycling Institute (CRI) (http://www.container-recycling.org/) and that equates to approximately 30 million plastic water bottles ending up in landfills each day. Each one of these bottles can take 1000 years to break down.
The Natural Resources Defense Council (http://www.nrdc.org) reported that,
“In 2006, the equivalent of 2 billion half-liter bottles of water were shipped to U.S. ports, creating thousands of tons of global warming pollution and other air pollution. In New York City alone, the transportation of bottled water from western Europe released an estimated 3,800 tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere. In California, 18 million gallons of bottled water were shipped in from Fiji in 2006, producing about 2,500 tons of global warming pollution.
And while the bottles come from far away, most of them end up close to home -- in a landfill. Most bottled water comes in recyclable PET plastic bottles, but only about 13 percent of the bottles we use get recycled. In 2005, 2 million tons of plastic water bottles ended up clogging landfills instead of getting recycled.”
