About Food-Grade Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is a durable material widely used for food containers due to its strength and long lifespan. EKOBO uses high-quality, food-grade stainless steel in products designed for repeated daily use, including lunch boxes and food storage, such as this stainless steel lunch box.

It is naturally BPA-free and suitable for direct food contact, making it a reliable alternative to plastic for both home and travel. Its sturdiness and impact resistance make it especially practical for outdoor dining and on-the-go use.

Food‑grade stainless steel is prized in kitchenware and food contact applications because its smooth, non‑porous surface helps reduce bacterial buildup and makes cleaning easier, contributing to safe everyday use. Research on food contact materials highlights that stainless steel resists corrosion and does not react with acidic or alkaline foods, helping preserve taste and quality over time (see food contact materials overview). These properties make it a trusted choice for family meals, travel, and outdoor dining

About Food-Grade Silicone

Silicone is a flexible, durable material made from silica, a natural element derived from sand. EKOBO uses high-quality, food-grade silicone described as safe, non-toxic and suitable for everyday use in baby and family products, as seen in the baby feeding collection.

All silicone items are BPA-free and designed as a long-lasting alternative to disposable plastics, supplying a soft, functional solution for daily meals at home or on the go, as outlined in the EKOBO FAQ. The material is flexible and wear-resistant, making it especially useful for repeated use.

Food-grade silicone is widely recognized as safe for food contact and is approved for use in kitchenware and food applications by organizations such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, making it a reliable choice for everyday use.

EKOBO STORY

WE DESIGN TO DO BETTER WITH LESS.

Founded in 2003 by Bruno and Boo Louis, EKOBO began as a family-driven project rooted in thoughtful design and daily use. Over more than 20 years, the brand has grown alongside our children, shaping products for meals, travel and developing products together.

From the beginning, our approach was simple: create functional, well-made pieces using carefully selected materials - bamboo, cork, rePET, silicone, and organic cotton - with a focus on durability and reducing unnecessary waste.

Each collection reflects a "less is more" philosophy, where form, function and material are considered equally. Today, EKOBO is an international brand with 500+ designs, present in the United States, Europe, and Asia - made for modern family life.

Eco Friendly Reusable Water Bottles for Daily Hydration

Whether you need a bottle for commuting, the gym, school, work, or weekend travel, reusable options offer a smarter and more practical solution for staying hydrated throughout the day.

What makes this collection stand out is its material focus. Each product is designed with performance in mind, using stainless steel, Tritan, and silicone to suit different needs and routines. As a result, you can choose the bottle or accessory that best matches the way you drink, travel, work, and live.

Why Material Matters in Reusable Bottles

When choosing reusable bottles, material matters just as much as size or colour. Different materials offer different benefits, so the right option depends on how you plan to use your bottle throughout the day.

Stainless steel is ideal for insulated performance and durability. Tritan offers a lightweight and practical solution for easy everyday carrying.

Are eco friendly reusable water bottles safe?

High-quality reusable bottles are designed for repeated daily use and are often chosen as a more dependable alternative to low-quality disposable containers. Many shoppers look for bottles made without BPA and with materials intended for regular contact with drinks.

Consequently, reusable bottles are often seen as a more practical and reassuring option for everyday hydration.

That said, care instructions can vary by material and design. For that reason, it is always best to follow the specific cleaning and usage guidance provided for each product. This helps maintain both performance and appearance over time.

Are reusable water bottles dishwasher safe?

Some reusable bottles and lids are dishwasher safe, while others are better washed by hand. This often depends on the material, lid construction, print finish, and whether the bottle is insulated. Therefore, checking the individual care instructions is the best way to keep your bottle in great condition.

Even so, reusable bottles are generally easy to clean and maintain. Regular washing, proper drying, and occasional deep cleaning can help keep them fresh for everyday use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is EKOBO a good brand?

Yes. EKOBO is a well-established eco-design brand known for combining modern aesthetics with responsibly sourced materials. Designed in France, the brand focuses on reusable alternatives to single-use plastics using bamboo fiber eco-composites, not raw natural bamboo. EKOBO uses leftover bamboo sawdust from chopstick factories, giving waste material a second life. Bamboo grows extremely fast and captures significantly more CO₂ than most hardwoods, contributing to a lower carbon footprint from the very beginning of the product’s life cycle.

Which is better, bamboo or stainless steel?

Neither is universally better. Bamboo fiber eco-composites are lightweight, incorporate renewable material, and are ideal for everyday tableware. Stainless steel is extremely durable, heat-proof, and better suited for cookware. The better option depends on intended use.

Is EKOBO safe?

Yes. EKOBO products are made from bamboo fiber eco-composites, not raw natural bamboo. They are BPA-free, PVC-free, and phthalate-free, tested for food-contact safety, and designed for hot and cold foods and liquids, though not for cooking.

Where are EKOBO products made?

EKOBO products are designed in France and manufactured in China, where bamboo naturally grows. EKOBO uses leftover bamboo sawdust from chopstick factories, giving waste material a second life. Bamboo’s rapid growth and high CO₂ capture contribute to a lower carbon footprint from the beginning of the product’s life cycle.
