Whilst it seems counter-intuitive to reducing waste, we think producing a high quality, long-life bottle is a good decision. Not only is it producing less waste than single-use cartons in the long run, but our bottle is much more sustainable than the alternatives. The Nimbus bottle is made from Tritan Renew – a tough, BPA & BPS-free, food-safe material made from 50% recycled plastic.Our first thought was to make the bottle of glass, but when we looked into it further, the facts tell a different story. Glass actually requires the highest energy usage to produce and uses so much more fuel to transport due to its weight, making its overall environmental impact 5+ times higher than plastic! Even recycled glass requires really high energy usage to produce :(When compared to plastic with recycled content (like our bottle), we can save up to 90% of emissions compared to glass usage.It is such a difficult process to decide which materials to use, but we are committed to using the lowest impact materials even if plastic has a bad reputation, as
our whole company is built on reducing emissions and waste with no
greenwashing.Our reusable bottle is also very light and therefore easy to shake (glass was just too heavy for this!), fits perfectly inside the door of your refrigerator, and is dishwasher safe!
