Mudpuppy Stainless Steel Water Bottles

One Green Bottle provided us with a slime coloured 500ml Mudpuppy Stainless Steel Water Bottle along with their sports cap and a loop cap with carabiner. These bottles are promoted as being a safer and more environmentally friendly bottle than plastic due to the fact that they are BPA(bisphenol-a)-free. The stainless steel is food grade and the various lids are made from non-leaching Polypropylene #5.

Plastic not only uses oil but there are also concerns regarding BPA which is thought to cause serious health problems when it leaches into drinks. Steel is therefore considered safer for food and beverage use. It is also 100% recyclable. From a consumer point of view the Mudpuppy Stainless Steel Water Bottles undoubtedly, in my opinion, have aesthetic appeal. They look funky, don’t leave the aftertaste you sometimes experience with plastic bottles and are lightweight yet robust. The bottle was also easy to clean although the painted versions and caps, other than the sports cap, should not be washed in a dishwasher. The choice of interchangeable lids is also a great feature, allowing you to mix and match according to your requirements. The sports lid we tried worked well and had a cap for over the mouthpiece; handy for keeping it clean. The loop cap with carabiner is ideal if you are out hiking as you can attach the bottle easily to a rucksack.

Having a reusable bottle rather than buying endless plastic bottles of water is certainly the eco friendly option, and a robust bottle such as this will no doubt save you money in the long run too. With the price of most of the 1000ml bottles at £9.99 and the small 350ml bottles priced at £4.99 (with other sizes in between), you will be saving money in no time. Alternative lids are priced between £1.50 and £1.99.

The bottle came packaged in a simple cardboard box which could be easily recycled.

Thanks to One Green Bottle for sending us a sample of this product.
