This type of topic can be confusing, as there\u2019s inconsistent information around the internet and it\u2019s hard to tell what\u2019s what! Everyone wants to ensure their products are safe to use, but as a consumer it can be difficult to figure out which products actually are. Well, safety is our #1 priority here at Bulletin Brands, so we wanted to dive deeper into this topic to set your mind at ease. We always want to make sure our products are exceeding any and all safety standards. (Spoiler alert: they are!)<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubs.ppai.org\/ppb-newslink\/certain-recycled-plastic-bottles-expose-drinks-to-more-chemicals\/\">A study<\/a> recently came out stating that rPET plastics pose a greater risk to our health due to the fact that they leach more chemicals than their nonrecycled counterparts. It was found that some of these chemicals exceeded regulation standards. Due to this worrisome information, the study calls for even more stringent recycling practices to keep us safe from chemical exposure. The person who led the study, Dr. Iacovidou, called for companies to invest in \u201csuper-cleaning\u201d technologies to decontaminate the recycled PET to reduce chemical exposure for consumers.<\/p>\n<p>While information like this can be scary, we do have some good news. As Dr. Iacovidou states in the study, this plastic needs to be properly cleaned and processed to ensure its safety for consumer use. They recommend \u201csuper-cleaning\u201d technologies. The good news is that the manufacturing process used in our recycled bottles already utilizes this super-cleaning technology! The machines used to sanitize the recycled materials have been are approved for food contact by the FDA. We also have it independently tested by a third party every year. In other words, we take consumer safety extremely seriously, and go above and beyond to make sure our recycled water bottles are safe.
