In today’s world, two major primary concerns are sustainability and health. And there are many things we ignore in our day-to-day lives. One of them is the bottles we use every day. We don't think twice about it as long as it holds water and fits in our bag. We carry it everywhere, be it the gym, college, office, or outings, or just keep it beside our bedside.
But the question is, is it really safe or quietly doing more harm than good? Because what your bottle is made of matters a lot.
We believe staying hydrated should be safe, stylish, and sustainable. All our products, like bottles, tiffins, glasses, and containers, are made from high-quality, BPA-free borosilicate glass and are break-resistant, protected by a silicon glass cover. But what does it mean to be BPA-free, and why does it matter? Let’s find out so you know exactly what you’re getting when you choose BPA-free products like ours.
What Is BPA?
BPA stands for Bisphenol A, a chemical compound that is manufactured in large quantities for the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. Polycarbonate plastics are often used in containers that are used to store food and beverages, such as water bottles. Epoxy resins are used to coat the inside of metal products, such as food cans, bottle tops, and water supply lines. Some dental sealants and composite materials also contain BPA.
It has been found in many studies that BPA can leach into foods and drinks from containers that are made from BPA. Exposure to BPA leads to potential health risks like hormonal disorders, fertility problems, and even increased risks of cancer and heart disease. These risks make it important to understand and avoid BPA in your daily-use products.
BPA not only impacts our health but also impacts our environment. As it does not break down easily, it can enter the ecosystem and affect the wildlife and water quality. As the harmful effects of BPA have become more evident, we prioritized your health and safety and switched to BPA-free items at Glasafe.
What Does BPA-Free Mean?
The "BPA-free" label has become a standard for safety, especially in items used for food and beverage storage, such as water bottles and food containers. Even if a product is labeled as BPA-free, it is important to check that it doesn’t have similar chemicals like BPS (Bisphenol-S) or PSF (Bisphenol-F), which have the same risks as BPA.
BPA-free water bottles help to support sustainability as they do not require the use of disposable materials. When consumers opt for a reusable, non-toxic bottle, it helps to reduce the effects of plastic pollution on the environment. These bottles can be refilled multiple times without the worry of chemicals getting mixed with water, making them safer for long-term use.
