TRUE BOTTLE, MADE FROM GLASS

Flaska bottle - reusable water bottle made from glass

Glass is slowly making its way back into our daily lives. We finally realised what our grandparents already knew. Glass is the best material for storing, transporting and enjoying your food and drinks. It is an inert material meaning it doesen't react with the content. That is why glass is also the best material for your reusable water bottles.

When talking about the price and weight various plastic materials seem to be better at first glance. But when we include our health and environment into the equation, the result is clear. With a glass water bottle you won't have to worry about any BPA or antimony or any other substances with strange name and bad reputation. Flaška bottle is made of glass.

Why are glass water bottles like Flaška better for your health?

The answer from the Friends of Glass webpage is so good we borrowed it. Hope they don't mind:

Glass is a pure and natural product with an added bonus: there is no migration between glass and its contents. Ingredients such as flavourings and vitamins are therefore preserved for a long time without any change in flavour. Furthermore, glass does not contain bisphenol A (a chemical that mimics oestrogen). You can see now why glass gives you complete peace of mind.

No leaching, no migration, no diffusion.

Because of its molecular structure, glass is gastight. The diffusion resistance of glass is so high that it provides optimal protection. This is important for products that are sensitive to oxygen, which cannot penetrate it. Glass neither reacts with nor absorbs foreign substances, whether they come from outside the food container or the product contained within it. Glass does not contain Bisphenol A (BPA), ITX (isopropylthioxanthone), Phthalates (plasticizers used in some plastics), Acetaldehyd, or other potentially harmful chemicals.

What do you think why all the expensive cosmetics and drinks are stored in glass containers or bottles?

Flaska bottles are made in a glass factory in the north of Italy. A high–quality Italian design was combined with a requirement for durability. This is of key importance for the long–term use of Flaska bottles. Additional neoprene protection helps the bottle to withstand influences which go beyond everyday clumsiness, thus making Flaska bottles your daily companion.

Facts about glass:

• Glass is the only packaging material "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
• Because glass is chemically inert, it is the consumer's perfect protection for food and beverages.
• Glass is one of the most sustainable packaging materials on earth, taking into consideration all carbon footprint factors.
• Glass is true "cradle-to-cradle" packaging - meaning it can be recycled infinitely to be re-made into bottles, jars or containers that are equally pure as the original. The recycled product is so pure that it can again touch food or beverages.
• Because of the molecular structure glass is gas-tight (including oxygen). This is important because food and liquids keep its primary taste, look, smell and shape.
• Dr. Darko Drev: “It is better to avoid using plastic packaging, if possible.”
