If you're looking to replace your Nalgene, try a Sigg water bottle (http://www.mysigg.com/). They're super durable, perfectly sized for outdoors activities and very slick. The bottles come in 144 different styles!

By pure (and rather strange) coincidence, I just came across this write-up on plastic-free water bottles from NRDC. It mentions SIGG, as well as a company called Kleen Kanteen. Worth checking out!

I'm convinced, I've stopped using my #7 Nalgenes and ordered a slew of safer replacements. What do I do with the old ones? My city's recycling only accepts #1 and #2 plastic. I emailed Nalgene about disposal and/or recycling of their product and have received no response. Hate throw them away or sell them at a garage sale, it would just perpetuate the problem for someone else.

To better understand the health hazards of food containers one must first understand the manufacturing process. The hazards of Nalgene products were discovered due to a better understanding of their manufacturing processes.

With continued focus on this issue and review of manufacturing of alternatives to Nalgene products, reveals similar concerns.

The lead content of stainless steel products activated by heat and cold extremes reveals that they are as safe as eating the chipped paint from a 1930's home. Resorting to glass or porcelain products exposes the user to formaldehyde levels of a pickled high school frog.

As a molecular engineer from California Institute of Technology at Pasadena, I fear that my duty to inform consumers nationwide of the fraud that is being perpetrated in replacing one hazardous material with another.
