This is from The Soft Landing- a blog I trust with issues about BPA and chemicals in our eating and drinking containers. This is big news about SIGG bottles….
I think we’ve just experienced the greatest greenwashing this side of the moon. SIGG’s laid-back announcement about the “mere presence of BPA” in the lining of their pre-August 2008 aluminum bottles has generated a firestorm – and it’s not all on the consumer side of things either. Now the big question is, will SIGG be able to recover from such a devastating blow to their reputation? After reading the latest SIGG tale unraveled by ZRecs, I’d have to say their chances are dropping by the day.
In the midst of it all, SIGG customers who are feeling betrayed have contacted us to voice the questions we’re all thinking:
What do I with my old SIGG bottle?
Where do I go from here? Do stainless steel bottles require an epoxy lining that may contain BPA?
Why would there be a BPA lining inside metal bottles in the first place?
Didn’t I buy a metal bottle specifically to get away from BPA?
