When most people around the world think of Swiss-made products, they think of watches, chocolate… and now reusable water bottles! SIGG Switzerland is the best selling reusable water bottle in the world due to other Swiss-known traits such as superior quality, meticulous design and a passion for outstanding craftsmanship!
SIGGs are extruded from a single piece of pure aluminium for seamless, leak-proof durability. Our liner is one-of-a-kind and the true secret of the SIGG bottle. It is a proprietary formula - containing no BPA – which is baked on for the life of the bottle and remains flexible and crack-resistance despite how dinged up the outside of the bottle might get. Basically, if your SIGG takes a licking, you can keep on sipping.
For over 100 years now, SIGG bottles have been expertly manufactured by a dedicated Swiss workforce. Many other reusable bottle brands outsource their manufacturing to Chinese suppliers. By making our own bottles at our own factory in Frauenfeld Switzerland, we can ensure the highest quality product standards as well as guarantee that our operations are ethically and environmentally responsible.
That’s the Swiss way – and the SIGG way!
Many people think that they are helping the environment by refilling their plastic PET water bottles. But are you helping yourself?
«Disposable PET bottles are designed for one time use,» states Simran Sethi of The Discovery Channel. «Refilling them can release harmful toxins from the packaging – especially when it gets heated. If you’re tasting plastic, you’re ingesting plastic.»
In 2008, many major North American retailers discontinued selling reusable plastic bottles made from polycarbonate #7 (brands such as Nalgene) due to concerns that these bottles were leaching Bisphynol-A. A report by Health Canada called this chemical (BPA) «dangerous».
And not all metal water bottles are alike. Very recently there have been major recalls of Chinese-made aluminium water bottles for lead in the paint. Tests have shown that Chinese-made aluminium water bottles, like many polycarbonate #7 plastic bottles, also leach the chemical BPA.
A SIGG Bottle is your healthy and safe choice for your body. The baked-on, crack resistant bottle liner makes sure that you drink what you want to drink – and not unwanted chemicals. The SIGG bottle liner is leach-proof and resistant even to energy drinks, fruit acids and carbonation.
SIGG bottles are manufactured in Switzerland with no BPA, no lead, no phthalates – in other word, no risk to you! Look for the SIGG brand name to ensure you are getting the healthiest & safest reusable water bottle in the world!
Trust the Swiss – trust SIGG
Recycling your PET plastic water bottles is good… but using a reusable water bottle is much better for the environment.
«More than 90 percent of the environmental impacts from a disposable plastic bottle happen before the consumer opens it,» said Dr. Allen Hershkowitz, a senior scientist at the U.S. Natural Resources Defense Council. «Oil for plastic, oil for shipping, oil for refrigeration and, in a small % of bottles, oil for recycling – sadly most PET bottles go to landfills.» As a rule of thumb, scientists say that you can fill a PET bottle ¼ of the way with oil to symbolize how much energy goes into every bottle.
Worldwide, over 60 billion tons of plastic waste is produced every year. Plastic is particularly damaging because it is not biodegradable and plastic particles eventually become part of the food chain - as they have for example in our oceans. In some parts of the sea, there is five times more plastic than plankton. Neil Seldman, a waste recycling expert, has labeled our plastic problem as «potentially more dangerous than global warming.»
But we can change this!
Using a SIGG reusable bottle is a smart and simple way to reduce unnecessary waste and to take better care of our planet.
In 2008, Newsweek published a report measuring the greenest countries in the world – and Switzerland ranked #1. At SIGG, we manufacture to the highest Swiss standards and are constantly on the lookout for ways to further reduce our carbon footprint.
SIGG is also a proud member of 1% For The Planet, donating 1% of our worldwide sales to protection of the environment. At SIGG, we walk the walk.
