In 2004 Klean Kanteen™ introduced the first personal hydration bottle made from stainless steel to give health and environmentally conscious people an alternative to plastic. We have yet to see another bottle company, stainless or otherwise, that makes a product comparable to the high quality, handcrafted bottles or that commits to strong environmental and labour standards.
You never have to worry about the materials in a Klean Kanteen™. Klean Kanteen did the research for you and selected high quality, 18/8, food-grade stainless steel for the bottles and BPA-free polypropylene (pp#5) for the caps. Quality stainless steel doesn't need a liner like aluminium bottles, so it doesn't retain flavours or make drinks taste funky.
The bottles are easy to clean because they were intentionally designed with radius (rounded) corners. The bottle doesn't have any sharp edges or hard angles where dirt or bacteria can hide. We also use large, rounded threads that are easy to scrub out so dirt, bacteria and germs don't get stuck in the threads of either the bottles or the caps.
Klean Kanteens can be hand washed or throw them in the dishwasher. Either way, the large-mouth design of both the Classic and Wide bottles makes it easy to keep them clean and sanitary.
All Wide bottles have a cap with stainless steel on the inside so drinks never touch plastic. You can order all-stainless caps for Classic bottles as accessories too, an option you won't find from other brands except Klean Kanteen™ imitations.
The food-grade stainless steel use doesn't need to be lined with plastic or baked-on epoxy like aluminium bottles, so you'll never have to check to make sure the inside of your Klean Kanteen™ is still safe and intact. Because our bottles don't have a liner, they don't retain flavours or make drinks taste funky either.
When you buy a Klean Kanteen™ you're getting a handcrafted bottle designed to last a lifetime. We use an extremely high quality metal that will remain stain and rust resistant for decades.
Klean Kanteens goals are simple: to provide affordable, high quality beverage containers and accessories that are good for people, and good for the planet. Klean Kanteen endeavour to treat their customers like good neighbours, and their partners like dear friends.
