glass drinking bottles - our first big love
Glass drinking bottles were our first soulproducts: Georg and Paul were looking for a 100 % plastic free and sustainable drinking bottle to drink tap water instead of bottled water. And when they couldn't find what they were looking for, they designed one themselves. We are still very much in love with our glass bottles. Here you can find out why:
why a glass drinking bottle?
It's no coincidence that many drinks and foods are sold in glass containers, because they can do so many things:
-
Glass is neutral in taste. You know this for sure: Lemonade, sparkling water or water simply tastes better from glass drinking bottles than from cans or plastic. That's because they neither absorb nor release particles. A glass bottle does not release microplastics, pollutants or flavours into your drink. So even if you've had tea or lemonade in a glass soulbottle, after a proper rinse it will taste crystal clear and neutral again.
-
Glass is made of natural materials. Drinking bottles are usually made of soda lime glass. For this, quartz sand, sodium carbonate and lime are mixed – so no scarce resources and no chemicals are needed.
-
Glass can be recycled without any problems. Scrap glass is melted down without any loss of quality and can be used to make new glass drinking bottles. Melting down cullet requires less energy than producing new glass, which saves CO₂. That's why our soulbottles are made from up to 80 % recycled glass and are produced with biomethane.
are soulbottles made of unbreakable glass?
No, our glass soulbottles are not completely shatterproof. As you can read above, glass bottles have many advantages, but unfortunately indestructibility is not (yet) one of them. We use thick walled glass, which means that soulbottles can withstand a lot – we've already experienced one or two adventurous stunts – but that can sometimes go wrong. If you want that extra bit of protection for your soulbottle, you can get a cover made from sustainable and fair cork. And if a glass bottle does break, you can easily and cheaply buy a replacement bottle.
how do i clean my glass water bottle properly?
soulbottles made of glass are dishwasher safe - yeah! Our drinking bottles made of the transparent material are welcome to join the dishwasher carousel. Except for the designs with gold and silver print, because they fade if they ride along too often. For our dazzling soulbottles or in case you don't own a dishwasher or just like to wash (everything okay with you?), there are our dishwashing brushes and cleaning beads.
what sizes and designs are soulbottles made of glass available in?
The glass drinking bottles from soulbottles are available in sizes 0.6 l - fits in (almost) every bag - and 1.0 l - perfect for the big thirst or to use as a carafe. The designs come from international artists and are designed exclusively for soulbottles. So that everyone can find the perfect soulmate, every now and then designs from the collection make room for new ones. In case you can't find the perfect glass drinking bottle for you right now, come back in a few weeks or send us a hint at hello@soulbottes.com and tell us which design would be your favourite one.
