Mizu Water Bottles
Mizu Water Bottles...
We believe in accountability. We frown on waste. We are discouraged by plastic health concerns. We don’t preach, but we think that paying $1.59 for 20 oz of filtered tap water makes no sense.
We think a floating continent made of plastic is embarrassing. And we know that choking landfills with billions of plastic bottles is lame.
Our lifestyle is our inspiration. Our advocates share our vision. Design, aesthetics and individuality are important to us. We won’t compromise.
We are Mizu.
Product Features + Specs:

- Mizu's mouth is the perfect size for drinking. Not spilling

Outdoor Technology - Innovative Accessories
Outdoor Techonolgy was born and brewed in the heart of LA with roots extending from the Sick Sierras to our north, the little town of Ketchum Idaho, and the plains of the Midwest. With a love all things outdoors and a passion for anything tech, we mixed it up in the not so traditional So Cal action sports tradition and created Outdoor Technology® in 2008. They are the creators of The Yowie®, a soft polyester micro-fiber fabric tube usually worn around the head, neck or over the face where it protects from nature's elements while wicking water from skin. They also make speakers and beanies with built in headphones.
Snowboard Green's favorite products are their Tyvek® wallets and their Stainless steal Project Kaisei water bottle. Tyvek® is an industrial building material valued for its tear-resistant qualities. This 100% recyclable paper wallet looks way cooler than the animal skin in your pocket and lasts just as long.
Outdoor Technoogy understands that we need to break away from our "throw away culture" and begin to reuse and plan for the future. They teamed up with Project Kaisei to produce a co-branded Stainless Steel water bottle to spread information, encourage reuse AND help their efforts directly by donating 8% of every bottle sold directly to Project Kaisei. Project Kaisei is a non-profit organization focused on taking you through a voyage to increase awareness of the scale of marine debris, its impact on our environment, and the solutions for both prevention and clean-up.

Plastic vs Metal Water Bottles
Our friends at the blog, Green & Sustainable Outdoor Gear recently posted a great piece on the environmental difference between plastic and metal water bottles. Check it out...
G Magazine has run a useful update on the old ‘which is the best’ water bottle debate.
While we all know that re-usable bottles make much more sense than using bottled water, perhaps the key difference between aluminium and plastic bottles that has been highlighted to date has been around personal health rather than environmental issues. As a result, many plastic and metal bottle manufacturers are now billing themselves as BPA free.
But G Magazine have produced a great article which also considers the environmental impacts of the production of both plastic and metal bottles. As you might expect, they found that plastics have far less environmental impact in the categories of:
- contribution to greenhouse pollution
- water use
- waste
They estimate that the difference between the two options can be up to 80%. This difference is largely due to the relatively large energy cost that goes into the processing of the metal to actually make the bottle. On the basis of greenhouse emissions, plastics come out well ahead.
If you are still going to buy a metal bottle, than the better option is stainless steel. The article cites research by the CSIRO which says that aluminium has a greater overall environmental impact in terms of energy required and hence contribution to global warming than stainless steel.
Another significant point from the article (Reusable water bottles: plastic vs stainless steel vs aluminum, G Magazine, November/ December 2010 by Angela Tufvesson) is that the overall impact of the metal bottles can be reduced somewhat if you recycle them at the end of their life. In contrast many hard plastic bottles (recycling code 5 and 7) are not covered by municipal recycling schemes.
