Why Choosing BPA-Free Owala Products is Better for Your Health and the Planet
Let’s talk about BPA—the sneaky chemical found in some plastics that’s been linked to all kinds of health risks. As consumers learn more about the impact of plastics on health, BPA’s reputation has taken a big hit. At Owala, we’ve taken all that worry out of the equation. All our water bottles, tumblers, and kids’ products are 100% BPA free. But what does it mean to be BPA free, and why does it matter? We’re diving into the details, so you know exactly what you’re getting when you choose BPA-free products like ours.
What is BPA?
BPA, short for Bisphenol-A, is an industrial chemical used in certain plastics and resins, and is linked to potential health concerns according to Mayo Clinic. It’s commonly found in containers that store food and beverages, such as water bottles, canned food linings, and even dental sealants. But it doesn’t just stay in plastic. BPA can leach into food and drinks, especially when heated, causing potential health risks. Over time, research has linked BPA exposure to a range of health problems, including hormonal disruptions, infertility, and even increased risks of cancer and cardiovascular disease. These risks make it crucial to understand and avoid BPA in daily-use products.
Add that to the fact that BPA causes serious environmental problems. Since it doesn't break down easily, BPA can get into ecosystems, affecting wildlife and contaminating water quality. As the harmful effects of BPA become clearer, it’s easy to see why we’re all about BPA-free products at Owala.
What Does BPA Free Mean?
When a product is labeled BPA free, it’s a promise that you won’t find any trace of Bisphenol-A. The "BPA-free" label has become a standard for safety, especially in items used for food and beverage storage, such as water bottles and food containers. However, while a product might be BPA free, it's also important to double-check that it doesn’t have similar chemicals like BPS (Bisphenol-S) or PSF (Bisphenol-F), which have pretty similar risks. Definitely not an improvement.
But not us. At Owala, all of our products are BPA free and free of any chemical copycats—from our Kids' FreeSips to our SmoothSip® Slider coffee mugs. Instead, they’re made from safe, food-grade materials.
The Importance of BPA free Products
Using BPA-free products has significant health benefits. Research shows that BPA can disrupt the body's endocrine system, mimicking hormones and potentially leading to reproductive issues, developmental problems in children, and a higher risk of certain cancers. It's not just about being labeled BPA free—they need to be certified BPA free, which means they meet the highest safety standards and are free from similar harmful chemicals like BPS or PSF. By using BPA-free water bottles and food containers, you minimize exposure to seriously harmful effects.
For parents, the importance of BPA free products is especially critical. Children’s developing bodies are more sensitive to harmful chemicals, making it essential to use products that are free from BPA and similar chemicals. Owala’s BPA free products offer peace of mind for families, providing safe, high-quality water bottles and tumblers designed with safety and convenience in mind.
