Your aluminum water bottle and its polypropylene cap are 100% recyclable and can be recycled separately.
Through normal wear and tear, bottles may be subject to denting. Rest assured, though, that a dent will not affect the functionality of your Gaiam water bottle.
The exclusive design painted on the exterior of your Gaiam water bottle is cured to ensure durability. If your bottle is scratched or dented, there’s a possibility the paint may crack or flake but this will not affect the functionality of the water bottle. The paint we use is nontoxic and tested to ensure it meets safety requirements
Which Type of Water Bottle Is the Best Choice?
There are lots of conversations going on about water bottles right now. So how can you make the best decision about the containers you use to keep your H20 close at hand? Here’s a guide to help you know the facts before you buy.
We created our aluminum and stainless steel water bottles to reduce plastic bottle waste. Although single-use plastic water bottles can be recycled, nearly 80 percent (at least 30 billion bottles a year) are sent to landfills in the U.S. alone, according to the Sierra Club and Container Recycling Institute. These bottles aren’t safe to reuse — and plastic is made from petroleum, a non-renewable resource.
Gaiam reusable water bottles offer a durable, sustainable alternative that can be reused over and over.
Our aluminum and stainless steel water bottles also offer an alternative if you’re concerned about exposure to Bisphenol-A (BPA). Single-use plastic water bottles and reusable plastic bottles made of certain types of hard polycarbonate plastic have been shown to leach toxins including BPA into the water inside the bottle under normal use and care conditions.
Stainless steel is the best alternative to plastic.

Aluminum
offers a lighter weight and more affordable option, and we take careful steps to ensure that our aluminum water bottles provide a safer alternative to plastic:
The internal surface of our aluminum water bottles is coated with a thin, food-grade epoxy resin that meets U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) 175.300 requirements for toxic elements in foodware. (This lining is neither required nor industry standard for stainless steel bottles.)
We also asked our water bottle manufacturer to comprehensively test our aluminum bottles for BPA, using industry-standard test methods. No detectable levels of BPA were found in the gasket, the cap or the coating material in testing under normal use and care conditions.
While there is no government or industry standard in place for BPA levels acceptable in food and beverage containers, our aluminum and stainless steel water bottles are compliant with all existing federal government rules for food and beverage containers.
We also took additional steps to help ensure your safety via independent laboratory tests that go well beyond FDA requirements. An independent lab subjected our aluminum water bottles to continuous extreme heat — nearly 200 degrees Fahrenheit — in an environmental chamber for three days while the bottles were filled with water. Under these extreme conditions, a trace amount of BPA (23.8 parts per billion) was detected in the water inside the bottle. This test was performed under conditions outside the normal use and care conditions we recommend on our product packaging and shopping website. For example, we explain that the bottle should not be washed in a dishwasher or filled with any hot liquids.
Gaiam has always been committed to doing what’s right for people and the planet — and giving consumers simple choices that make a difference.

Other info about our aluminum bottles:
When aluminum bottles are lined (as ours are) there is no risk of aluminum leaching into the bottle contents.
In a 2007 report, the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment states, “There is no risk of Alzheimer’s disease from aluminum in consumer products.”
According to the Alzheimer’s Society, “There is no conclusive medical or scientific evidence of a link between aluminum and Alzheimer’s disease.” The World Health Organization, the U.S. National Institute of Health and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) share the conviction that aluminum is not a key risk factor in developing Alzheimer’s disease.
The water bottle exterior paint meets the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) 16 CFR 1303, which bans lead-containing paint.
