The Chic, Sustainable Choice: Why Food Grade Silicone is the Future of Hydration

In a world where conscious consumerism reigns, choosing materials that align with both style and sustainability is key. Enter food grade silicone—the luxurious, safe, eco-friendly, and protective material that makes bkr’s iconic glass water bottles even more lovable. Whether you're a devoted wellness aficionado or just looking for a chic upgrade from leaching plastics and clanky opaque metal, here’s why food grade silicone on glass is the only way to go.

What is Food Grade Silicone?
Food grade silicone is a non-toxic, BPA-free, and highly durable material derived from silica (sand). Unlike plastics, which can leach harmful chemicals into your drink, or metal that's loud and alters the taste of what's in it, silicone wrapped glass is clean, non-porous, soft, easily removable, and endlessly functional. bkr’s signature silicone sleeves are not only a style statement but a practical enhancement, offering a comfortable grip while protecting your clean, clear glass bottle from drops.

FDA-approved and free from BPA, BPS, and phthalates, food grade silicone is the ultimate material for peace of mind. bkr high quality glass keeps your water pure, unlike plastic and metal alternatives and the uniquely easy-to-remove silicone sleeves allow a level of transparency, cleanliness, and safety that is second to none.
