Why use SIGG Water Bottles?SIGG is ECO-FRIENDLYUnlike disposable PET plastic water bottles that fill up our nation's
landfills, SIGG bottles are reusable and give consumers a simple way to
reduce unnecessary waste. It is estimated that over 2.5 million
plastic water bottles are thrown away EVERY HOUR! Check out this
NPR.org
radio spot for more information. Why not re-use
a super strong, sylish, and environmentally healthy SIGG for your daily
hydration needs? It DOES make a difference!
Environmentally speaking, SIGG bottles get an A+. Not only are
they designed to be reusable, they are 100% recyclable at the end of
their very long lives. This is a far cry from single use,
disposable water bottles (PET plastic), which create millions of tons
of unnecessary waste each year. According to the Container
Recycling Institute, less than 15% of plastic water bottles used in the
U.S. are actually recycled. Most wind up in landfills where they
can take up to 1,000 years to biodegrade. Besides helping to
reduce our reliance on petroleum-based PET bottles, SIGG USA donates 1%
of all sales to helping to preserve our environment.
SIGG is a pround member of
1% For The Planet,
an alliance of businesses who recognize their responsibility to
ensuring a healthy environment and donate at least 1 % of their annual
sales to environmental causes worldwide.
SIGG Water Bottles are Healthy and
Safe for the Body
The proprietary SIGG bottle lining is a water-based, non-toxic
coating that is baked into the interior walls and remains flexible and
crack resistant for the life of the bottle. Due to the finish of
the liner, there is much less chance for bacteria build-up with a SIGG
as opposed to plastic containers. The liner is taste-neutral and
resistant to fruit acids and energy drinks, ensuring that your drinks
taste like your drinks every time. SIGG bottles exceed FDA
requirements and have been independently tested to prove 0.0% leaching.
"Accroding to the results of our evaluation, use of a SIGG bottle does
;not add to the beverage any particulates and/or components which are
innocuous to human health." - Dr. Ulrich Nehring, European
Institute
SIGG Water Bottles are the Worlds
Toughest Water Bottles
About 20% lighter than a Lexan plastic bottle, SIGGs are incredibly
durable, virtually unbreakable. The folks at Backpacker Magazine
did an independent field test of the leading bottle brands.
The Test: A 100 pound cannon backed with golf balls and plenty of
muzzlepower near Ault, CO. They blasted 5 top brands, seeing
which ones held up the best.
The Result: Pure Carnage...When the smoke cleared all that
remained was twisted metal and plastic. Only two bottles survived
direct hits. One was the SIGG Traveler, which was deeply dented
but still usable. The other was the GSI Outdoors Lexan bottle,
which survived one direct hit, then shattered in round 2.

Swiss QualityFor nearly 100 years, SIGG has utilized Swiss precision and
craftmanship to become the world-wide market leader in premium water
bottles. Designed and manufactured in Switzerland from a single
piece of pure aluminum, each bottle is perfectly extruded for uniform,
seamless construction. The brilliant exterior of a SIGG is
created using a solvent-free, eco-friendly powder-based coating which
is baked on to create a vibrant finish.
SIGG is Sylish
SIGG bottles are beautifully designed, portable works of art
that are a perfect blend of function and fashion - that's why SIGG was
selected for entry into NY's Museum of Modern Art. New,
fashionable styles are introduced each year.
