Ask HN: Which 20oz BPA-free 'plastic' bottle do you use for drinking your water?

2 points·readonthegoapp··8 comments

I basically use my 'vitamin water zero sugar orange rise' whatever 20 oz plastic bottle container as a refillable water bottle.

I've currently got a rotation of two or three of them and I suspect I'm guzzling dozens of somethings of BPA and other fun fat- and cancer-causing chemicals on a minutely basis (it's def not the sugar and cake).

This is the perfect size water bottle for me.

This is my water bottle.

I do not want any other water bottle.

Yet I am tired of drinking fat and cancer.

Is there a relatively healthy bottle out there like it?

The average disposable plastic water bottle ♳ is made of

and contains no BPA or other additives known to be toxic. You can reuse these a large number of times and not be afraid of anything.

Camelbak Chute Mag. Parking the lid in the open position using a magnet is great, no loosing it and easy to clean

Why not use a metal water bottle? I’m very happy with my Kleen Kanteen

One vote for Nalgene, had 3-4 of the same bottle!

For a long time polycarbonate Nalgene bottles did have BPA but they've removed it. Who knows what they replaced it with.

“Nalgene subsequently adopted Tritan, a BPA-free copolyester made by Eastman Chemical, as a substitute.“ - From the Nalgene Wikipedia article.

That same article says the manufacturer of Tritan won’t say exactly what it is.
