Info about Tritan - the material of our plastic drinking bottles
Plastic is repeatedly criticized and there is a lot of confusing information and rumors circulating regarding its use in drinking bottles. Much of this is justified, but there are differences: Not all plastic is the same! All drinking bottles currently offered by Aquacentrum are made of “Tritan”, a plastic produced by the Eastman Chemical Company produced and classified as particularly safe. Special information about "Tritan" that is important in this context can be found on an Eastman website: [unordered_list style="green-dot"]
"Tritan" has been tested worldwide and independently for several years with regard to food contact.
"Tritan" is free of BPA (bisphenol A) and free of other bisphenols (e.g. BPS).
"Tritan" does not possess estrogenic or androgenic activity.
"Tritan" has the recycling code "7", which generally applies to all plastics that do not have their own recycling code. This does not imply any evaluation of the material, although this is occasionally falsely claimed.
[/unordered_list] From the current perspective, "Tritan" is an excellent alternative to heavy and fragile glass bottles. Due to its resistance, a long service life is possible, which contributes to an acceptable environmental balance.
