High in Style and Substance, Sigg Water Bottles Have it All
Sunday, January 31st, 2010First made in 1908, SIGG has a growing reputation for making the best drinking water bottle, kids water bottles, stainless water bottles and sports water bottles. Their commitment to the environment is second-to-none. By using state of the art production techniques and regularly donating to environmental programs, SIGG hopes to lead the way for other organisations to do the same. A number of companies make claims to be environmentally responsible without ever contributing to programs to help protect the environment. SIGG, on the other hand, back up their claims to be at the cutting edge of environmentally friendly production by taking part in the 1% for The Planet program. As the name suggests, SIGG donates 1% of their worldwide sales to numerous environmental programs. So not only do SIGG water bottles look great, but every purchase made directly helps the environment.
BPA is a term normally used when describing plastic and in particular plastic water bottles. BPA, or Bisphenol A as it is officially called, is a toxin normally found in the plastic lining of conventional water bottles. Heated or reused, plastic bottles become dangerous to one’s health. BPA can leak into the water, causing adverse health problems including unnatural endocrine levels, thyroid problems and even neurological issues. SIGG water bottles are 100% BPA free, thus eliminating these nasty toxins and ensuring your health is not compromised.
Sigg bottles are made from a seamless piece of aluminium. This creates a product that is incredibly strong, durable and leak-proof. As such, SIGG is the preferred brand for many hikers and campers. The bottle tops (of which there are three varieties) are also leak proof and fit any aluminium SIGG bottle over 1,000 combinations are possible, so you can express yourself nicely with the bottle.
Recently top fashion designers put together a custom range of bottles for auction. Amongst the luminaries of haute couture were the likes of Donna Karan, Tommy Hilfiger, Stella McCartney and Kenneth Cole. Of course, proceeds went to helping global warming. Not only does SIGG pride itself on creating a quality product, but on helping sustain the very resources used to create such fantastic water bottles.
