As you all know, I've been strident in my criticism of the plastic bottle culture.
Only problem is that I don't yet have an answer, but events of the last few weeks are beginning to crystallize answers. Only last week we heard that it's official; Nalgene has pulled its whole highly popular Polycarbonate bottle range off the shelves and has said that it will be back with Bisphenol-A free product. here at ION LIFE we're faced with the same dilemma and have bitten the bullet. I have decided to no longer sell our highly popular IONLIFE Polycarb bottle.
It's kind of interesting; it's not becasue the bottle is really dangerous when used only as a water bottle. The problems begin when it is left in the sun, or put in a dishwasher, or subjected to ordinary detergent. So assuming you use a polycarb bottle but never leave it in the car, add hot water or detergent, you're OK. The Bisphenol-A stays in the bottle.
But take a look at this article which absolutely nails the plastics dilemma.
