Klean Kanteen and the Wert&Voll family
It all started 10 years ago. Nathalie was looking for a stainless steel water bottle and came across Klean Kanteen. The Klean Kanteen Reflect bottle with a bamboo lid was love at first sight. It is still an integral part of our private collection today and has gained charm thanks to its dents and signs of wear, without losing any of its functionality. Klean Kanteen doesn't just make promises about sustainability, it keeps them. In this blog article, we take you on a journey into the world of Klean Kanteen.
Klean Kanteen and its mission
Since 2004, the Klean Kanteen brand from California, USA, has stood for handmade and safe 18/8 stainless steel bottles that are manufactured under fair conditions in China. The family- and employee-run company ismanaged in its second generation by siblingsJeff Cresswell and Michelle Kalberer.
Klean Kanteen's mission is firmly anchored in its name. "Clean" and "canteen." Klean Kanteen, the "clean bottle," is a pollutant-free alternative to disposable bottles and cups. An outstanding product is not Klean Kanteen's only goal. To reflect and live up to their ecological footprint, they have developed a holistic concept to make their products truly sustainable.
The sustainable path of Klean Kanteen
In 2004, the family-owned company launched the first BPA-free reusable stainless steel drinking bottle. Moving away from single-use waste and toward a toxin-free alternative.
In 2008, they became a member of "1% For The Planet" and have since donated 1% of their annual sales to nonprofit projects that focus on the health of our wonderful planet.
In 2012, Klean Kanteen was accepted into the certified B Corporations. B Corp's independent standards guarantee the highest level ofperformance, responsibility, and transparency.
In 2020,Klean Kanteen completed the three-step processof becoming climate neutral and is now 100% climate neutralin the manufacture and delivery of its products worldwide.The "Climate Neutral Certified" label helpsyou as a customer make your purchasing decision if reducing greenhouse gases and climate change are also very important to you.
In 2023, Klean Kanteen will fulfill another promise. Within two years, all products will be made from 95% recycled stainless steel (currently 90%). This will reduce emissions from steel production by 40%, energy consumption by 30%, and the impact on the ecosystem by as much as 60%.
All these steps are regularlychecked and confirmed by an independent quality assurance company.
Why you should choose Klean Kanteen water bottles
All these advantages come together in high-quality, unique water bottles that are waiting to accompany you and your family on all your adventures. We know what we're talking about, because as an online store, we've had the opportunity to test many different brands of water bottles. No water bottle manufacturer has impressed us as much as Klean Kanteen. A cheaply produced stainless steel bottle can break quickly. In addition, other manufacturers often cannot prove that they pursue and adhere to a holistic, ecological concept. With Klean Kanteen, you know exactly what kind of product you are buying.
Klean Kanteen for kids
As parents, it is particularly important to find a good water bottle for our children. Our son Levi always has his Klean Kanteen children's bottle with him, whether he is at forest kindergarten or on one of our many trips into nature. With Klean Kanteen, we can be sure that both the stainless steel bottle and the plastic caps are free of harmful substances. The bottles are also very robust, easy to clean, and if something gets lost, Wert&Voll always has the right replacement part.
