Kokua Hawai’i Foundation Teams Up With EcoUsable® for SIGG Bottle Trade

Posted On: Oct 01, 09

News recently came out that SIGG bottles manufactured prior to August 2008 contained BPA in their liner. SIGG bottles manufactured since Aug. 2008 contain SIGG’s new EcoCare liner - independently tested to be free of BPA, BADGE, phthalates and other harmful chemicals. While BPA is present in the old bottle liner, test results down to 2ppb sensitivity show no leaching. Contrary to rumors, this is not a recall, because the bottles are not unsafe, but voluntary exchange programs are being offered by SIGG and other retailers like ReusableBags.com and Whole Foods.

As a result, Kokua Hawai’i Foundation has partnered with reusable bottle company, EcoUsable®, to trade SIGG bottles for new EcoUsable® stainless steel bottles.

EcoUsable® invents, produces and markets reusable water bottle products with the mission of helping the environment and people’s health, affordably.
Beginning October 1 through November 15, 2009 EcoUsable® will be offering a trade of any SIGG bottles manufactured prior to August 2008 for new EcoUsable bottles.
Receive one (1) Stainless Steel EcoUsable® bottle in exchange for any SIGG bottle traded to EcoUsable®. There is no limit to how many bottles you can exchange.
