EcoUsable provides consumers with affordable planet–friendly, reusable products that are recyclable,
health conscious and designed to improve the lives of people worldwide.
EcoUsable pioneered the world’s first stainless filtered water bottle, the ECH20, which includes its own
portable filtration system and provides instantly filtered water from almost any fresh water source. It
removes harmful contaminants as you drink through the flip top straw.
EcoUsable stainless steel water bottles are:
* Available in an assortment of sizes, graphic prints & solid colors.
* Made from 304 food grade stainless steel (18/8).
* BPA free & Aluminum free.
* Non-‐leaching & liner free. Since our bottles are stainless steel we don’t have to line them like
aluminum bottles. The consumer doesn’t have to worry about scratching the liner, which
could potentially leach aluminum into their water.
* 100% reusable and 100% recyclable.
* Half turn loop top; fewer threads mean less chance of bacterial growth. (Most other bottles
require 3-‐8 turns to open.)
* Easy to clean and fits ice cubes.
* Exclusive skid-‐proof mat bottom.
However, at EcoUsable it’s not enough to simply sell green products. We provide School Fundraising
Programs and passionately support educational programs and non-‐profit organizations that help carry
the message to consumers about the health risks and environmental hazards of single use plastic
bottles. Key partners are The Kokua Foundation (founded by singer songwriter Jack Johnson), UCLA’s
Office of the Environment, Algalita Marine Research Foundation and KidShape.
WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER DRINK FROM A SINGLE USE PLASTIC BOTTLE AGAIN
THE IMMEDIATE HEALTH RISKS
Plastic bottles can leach harmful chemicals, such as BPA (bisphenol A) that contaminate the water. In
scientific studies, BPA is often linked to health issues such as heart disease, cancers, infertility, obesity,
and diabetes.
Studies also indicate heat from the sun ruins the integrity of the plastic bottle which can leach plastic
into your bottled water.
THE ENVIRONMENTAL DEVASTATION
Regardless of our recycling efforts, over 60 million plastic water bottles go into landfills every day.
Countless more wind up in our oceans and waterways.
THE ENORMOUS CARBON FOOTPRINT
Plastic water bottles are a petroleum based product. Studies show 1.5 million barrels of oil—enough to
run 100,000 cars for a year—are used to make plastic water bottles.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Avoid using and reusing single use plastic bottles
Not all metal bottles are the same. Avoid aluminum bottles; aluminum is linked to Alzheimer’s and
other illnesses.
EcoUsable 304 food grade stainless steel bottles are the safest and best choice!
There are a variety of stainless steel grades but 304 grade is used for most cookware, cutlery and
surgical instruments.

The Great Folks at EcoUsable sent me a few of their Stainless Steel Bottles to try out. I received the 33oz Garden Flowers, 10oz Pink Butterflies and the 25oz Big Dipper. Also in my package was a Sports Top and two Bottle Wraps. The photo below is of the 10oz Pink Butterflies with the Sports Top and Bottle Wrap.
This one is a favorite for juice.
I love that the EcoUsable Stainless Steel Bottles come in so many sizes, designs and colors, it makes it easy to pick one out for each family member and you can keep track of your own bottle throughout the day. Well, easy once you have decided, there are so many choices!
The bottles are wonderful, in the past I have used other bottles that had left a bad after taste in my mouth, a metal or aluminum taste. I experienced no off or bad taste from any of the liquids I tried in the bottles. Some reusable bottles have very small openings, making it difficult to add ice to your drinks, but not these, the ice from my ice maker fits perfectly and I can fill it to the top just like I like it. I love my water really cold and this bottles keeps it that way.
Along with the bottles, they also sent me some bottle wraps, what a great addition! The bottle wraps fit nicely around the bottle and give you extra grip on the bottle and keep your hands from freezing when you are enjoying iced drinks. Since stainless steel tends to sweat with iced liquids, the bottle wrap also help keep your hands dry.
Our 10 year old is in basketball and has claimed the Big Dipper with the Shoulder Strap as his and his alone, don't even ask to use it and don't touch it. It has worked great for him during practices and games, he said it is "So Cool".
