About BPA - Bisphenol A is extremely widespread among many household plastics such as baby bottles and food storage containers. BPA is a chemical used in the manufacture of plastics and epoxy resins and is a known carcinogen that has been linked to brain synapse, reproductive and developmental impairments. Canada announced in 2008 it's intent to ban the sale of baby bottles containing BPA's.
The repetitive use of common disposable bottles (PET) can cause the plastic to break down and carcinogens to leach into your drinking water. Try leaving a full plastic bottle (re-used) and a full Cheeki bottle overnight and next morning take a sip from each - the difference in taste is incredible, imagine the benefit to your health over the long term.
Unless disposable plastic bottles are incinerated (producing toxic by product), they will be around in landfills, oceans and parks for hundreds of years. We like to think that we are environmentally and health conscious, but often forget the consequence of those aspects of our daily life which appear ‘normal' ie. drinking water - but from a toxic base ie.plastic bottles - which go to landfill to outlive us!
You only need to refill your Cheeki bottle approximately five times as compared to purchasing five bottled waters to "break even". You can refill your Cheeki bottle five hundred times - for free!! (that's a saving of about $1700!) You also know what is going into your bottle each time.
Fun - a cheeky range of Cheeki bottles that will quickly grow and you can colour code your family. Throw them in your sports bag, travel with them in your car, take them to the beach and stay hydrated, sports lids are a great accessory option.
Cheeki bottles are dishwasher safe - but best not to put the lids in the dishwasher, the rubber washer doesn't like it!
