Kleen Kanteen

From LoveToKnow GreenLiving

If you are tired of non-environmentally-friendly plastic water bottles then the Klean Kanteen (sometimes known as the Kleen Kanteen) may be right for you. This is a practical water bootle that also contributes to low-impact living. The Klean Kanteen Company offers an array of beverage containers and accessories free of BPA plastics.

History of Klean Kanteen?

According to Klean Kanteen’s About Us web page, this company has become a leader in the stainless steel bottle industry for the past five years.

Headquartered in Chino, California, the first Klean Kanteen hit the market in 2004. The owner’s of the Company wanted to create a beverage container that was not plastic and not aluminum and would last a lifetime. Sales began at flea markets, music festivals, and outdoor events and soon consumers were hooked on the Klean Kanteen.

How Is It Made?

Klean Kanteens are made of 100% stainless steel with a lot of thought put into that stainless steel. Steel is measured in gauges. The higher the number, the thinner the metal, so Klean Kanteen uses only strong and thick 18 gauge, food-grade stainless steel. Available in both the Classic and Wide style, Kanteens come in sizes from twelve ounces to sixty-four ounces.

Adding color to their beverage containers was another challenge but was successful by using safe, lead-free acrylic paint. The Klean Kanteen logo is standard on every bottle, but often the company will release a promotional bottle that advertises issues they believe in such as environmental awareness.
