This is a guest post by John Simonetta, owner of Proforma Simonetta Freelance, an eco-friendly promotional items consultancy (see proformagreen.com). John’s blogs are designed to keep us up to date on the “greening” of his industry.

Glass America - one of the industry leader in drinkware - is continuing to add to their line of BPA free water bottles. Two new items added in 2009 are the 22 oz. Ice Up Freezer Stick Bottle and the 32 oz. Cold Snap BPA Free Bottle.

Both bottles have a flip top drink straw and include a “freeze stick” design, basically an inner core in which water can be frozen to keep the liquid in the bottle cool throughout long summer days. EQP on the Ice-Up is $4.99, EQP on the Cold Snap is $5.99. Both come in a variety of colors, both have an easy open wide mouth and a clip designed for easy handling.

The Ice-Up and Cold Snap BPA free bottles will work well for Ecopreneurists looking to market to the gym crowd, outside festivals, parks, adventure travel, etc. The added freeze stick makes this promotional item that much more likely to be retained by your target audience.

As I have mentioned before BPA free water bottles are really the only way to go if you are thinking about plastic water bottles, and as far as I can tell nearly all units in the Glass America line are BPA free. However these bottles are not made from recycled materials. Their only real claim to green is that they are reusable and therefor better than disposable water bottles.
