Mini Stainless Steel Drink Bottle 600mL by Ecotanka

ECOtankas are modern, attractive and hygenic. They are ultra light and durable, they are not lined with any material and they do not break down or leach in any way. They are completely safe and non-toxic.

Stainless steel is very easy to clean and it's unique surface has no pores or cracks to harbour dirt, grime or bacteria. So your bottle stays completely clean and safe for years upon years. It is corrosion resistant, non-leaching and safe!

Stainless steel has a life expectancy of over 100 years, and is 100% recyclable.

Fluids can be changed from a juice or sports drink back to water, and there is no tainting or after taste. Drinks from an ECOtanka always taste beautifully clean and fresh, and the stainless holds them cooler for longer periods of time

Mini tankas are slightly smaller than the average sports size bottle. They hold a volume of 600mls (two large glasses), are ultra light and fairly compact, measuring approximately 180mm from the bottom to the top of the stainless steel area.

These bottles are available with either a sports cap or a stainless steel cap. They also fit the adaptor and Avent toddler "Easy-Sip" spout.


All ECOtankas are solid 304 high quality stainless steel food grade and have a 1 year warranty against faulty manufacturing. They come in an attractive green box fully printed with the ECOtanka name and logo.

Additional lids or replacement lids are available. All lids fit to all bottles and are interchangeable.


To care for your bottle, wash it regularly in warm soapy dishwashing water. Dishwashers are not recommended. Do not freeze. White vinegar can be rubbed over the outside of the bottle to remove any finger prints.
Do not use cleaning chemical containing ammonia or bleach.

You can switch between water, juice or milk drinks and there will be no taste or smell of any of them after the bottle has been washed!

With proper care, stainless steel has a useful life expectancy of over 100 years and it is 100% recyclable! This makes ECOtankas both long lasting and environmentally friendly.

Can ECOtankas hold hot liquids?

This is not recommended. ECOtankas are single-walled and are not insulated, so they become very hot when filled with a heated liquid, and will not keep liquids hot.


Will ECOtankas keep drinks cold?

ECOtankas are not insulated, so they will not keep drinks cold. If you wish to keep your drinks cold, fit an insulating jacket/holder to your bottle. These are available from a number of outlets.


Where are ECOtankas manufactured?

ECOtankas are machine manufactured in China to a very high standard, complying with all general manufacturing regulations.


Why not aluminium?

It has been found that foods cooked in aluminium can react with the metal to form aluminium salts. There is a high likelihood that prolonged exposure to these can lead to toxic effects, which means that drink bottles made from aluminium need to be lined with something to make them safe for us to use. The most common substance used for lining these bottles is an epoxy resin, which in itself may contain harmful chemicals. It may also retain odours.


Why not Polycarbonate? (a form of plastic).

The basic unit that makes up polycarbonate is Bisphenol A, originally synthesized in the 1930's as an oestrogen for pharmacological use. The fragility of the structure of these bonded units results in significant leaching of Bisphenol A into a variety of substances. Bisphenol A has been shown to be an endocrine disruptor and to simulate the action of oestrogenic compounds. There is also evidence that Bisphenol A enhances growth of human breast cancer cells. Bisphenol leaching is considerably greater in polycarbonate that is scratched, cloudy, or exhibits wear of any sort. Heating also accelerates the leaching process.

Each year we are drinking 30 billion throw-away bottles of water worldwide! Each of these bottles will take up to 1000 years to biodegrade.

Please help to look after our earth and avoid the purchasing and disposing of plastics where ever possible. It is up to each and every single one of us to help reduce the some 30 billion water bottles that we are currently purchasing and disposing of every single year, as unfortunately most of these still end up in our landfills.
