Glass is Baaaaack!
New Reusable Glass Water Bottle with Lowest Carbon Footprint in the Industry
Using the slogan “Glass is Back,” BottlesUp introduces the first reusable glass water bottle that blends the artistic beauty of glass with the environmental responsibility of all natural, recycled materials. The BottlesUp glass water bottle is designed by nationally-acclaimed glass artist Laurel Herter.
"We've been able to capture the beauty of glass and highlight its spectacular qualities in a reusable bottle," said Laurel Herter, founder, BottlesUp. "The distinctive qualities of the glass go beyond the bottle—it's better for the environment and for our own health.”
The 22-ounce glass water bottle is 100% sourced in North America. Each bottle is created from up to 75% recycled glass. Glass is the purest and healthiest material to use for beverages. BottlesUp's bottles are free of known toxins including Bisphenol-A (BPA), phthalates, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), and polycarbonates that research has shown can compromise human health.
BottlesUp was named one of six finalists for the 2011 International Home & Housewares Association Global Innovator Awards. BottlesUp glass water bottles are available online or at specialty retailers. More
