Greif introduces BPA-free reusable water bottles
Filed by Rachel Delahaye
Greif Packaging has developed a new FDA-compliant copolyester water bottle for the home and office delivery market. The new bottle has the same dimensions, design elements and features of Greif’s existing polycarbonate bottles, but does not contain bisphenol-A (BPA).
Greif’s news BPA-free bottles are made from copolyester.
The bottles are available in standard 3- and 5-gallon round and handled sizes. Independent laboratory testing using the Comprehensive Bottled Water or ‘50 State Compliance’ Tests has demonstrated that all parameters are below the maximum contaminant level.
Rick Volker, Greif sales & marketing manager – water bottles, said: “Our customers told us they wanted a BPA-free alternative to the polycarbonate water bottle that looked good and would meet the industry’s standards. We started a development program evaluating many resins until we hit upon copolyester.
“Copolyester bottles match the transparent and glossy look of polycarbonate bottles and drop tests confirm that they meet the requirements set within the industry.”
