Our SIGG EcoCare liner is a high-performance liner that ensures a fresh, clean taste and no metallic aftertaste. It is chemically inert and all ingredients in the SIGG EcoCare liner are "non-active ingredients." The SIGG EcoCare liner was designed by SIGG, is made locally by one of the leading coating companies in Europe and is applied in SIGG’s factory in Switzerland.

The "high-performing" SIGG EcoCare liner is an ultra-thin bake-on powder coating which is dispersed evenly onto the bottle interior using an electrostatic process that eliminates waste and ensures even distribution of the liner. The liner is bonded to the bottle shell at approximately 200 degrees Celsius to form a highly durable yet flexible barrier. The SIGG EcoCare liner is a strong, high-performance, wear-resistant liner. However, because it is only just 40 microns thick, the coating does not interfere with the ultimate recycling of your SIGG.

Main Ingredients The main ingredients in our SIGG EcoCare liner are a special combination of ultra-thin film-forming copolyesters, made for SIGG and found in different combinations in many other famous brands in the food and beverage industry. These ingredients are non-toxic and fully compliant with all EU and FDA regulations including EC 1935/2004 and FDA 21 CFR 175.300.

Additional Ingredients The following other ingredients are added to ensure our liners are durable and provide leading-edge performance, as well as to make it easier to apply them in the manufacturing process. These ingredients are also commonly found in many food and beverage containers and are fully compliant with EC 1935/2004 and FDA 21 CFR 175.300. They include:

• Mineral fillers: They make it possible to ensure an even surface and thorough covering of the liner. Mineral fillers are widely used in food and beverage products as well as products like toothpastes, medicines and other ingestible products.
• Flow additives: These are waxy solids made from a naturally occurring fatty acid. They ensure that the SIGG EcoCare liner forms a smooth, tough coating in your bottle.
• Color pigments: Are commonly used for coloring in many different food and beverage containers. They act as a visible control agent that makes it easy to identify that the SIGG EcoCare liner has been applied correctly.

No, the inner coating is highly elastic. Dents cannot crack the coating and the SIGG bottle remains perfectly usable. Because the liner is virtually baked into the inner walls of the bottle, it will not flake or chip even if dented on the outside.

We recommend rinsing your SIGG thoroughly under the faucet with warm, soapy water at the end of every day and letting it air dry with the top off. When more thorough cleaning is required, you can use baking soda and vinegar. For tough jobs, pick up some SIGG cleaning tablets and a SIGG brush. Do not use a hard bristled brush to clean the interior of your SIGG bottle as this will damage the liner.

Dishwasher safe? We do NOT recommend using the dishwasher to wash your SIGG bottles. The Dishwasher is too harsh and will damage the non-toxic food-based paint on your bottle, so if the design is important to you and you don't want the paint to fade or maybe chip off - avoid the dishwasher. Also, the opening of the SIGG bottle is small - and a dishwasher cannot shoot the water all the way up into the bottle to clean it thoroughly. Some tops have rubber gaskets on them - which will deteriorate in a dishwasher and cause your bottle to leak.

Do not use metal to pick or scrape at threads, steel wool or harsh abrasives.

Yes, of course. All SIGG bottle tops provide a 100% seal and cannot leak.

No. Strong heat can damage the outer coating.

SIGG has been designing and manufacturing water bottles since 1908 in our own factory in Switzerland – one of the greenest countries on the planet. In our continuing effort to raise the standard for environmental performance, we recently upgraded all our quality procedures and processes.

As a result, SIGG can say with even more confidence all ingredients used in our products are in conformance with both European and U.S. regulatory requirements. They are also certified and free of harmful chemicals. Furthermore, all ingredients inside our bottles are free of any volatile organic compounds (VOCs), phthalates, BADGE, BFDGE, and NOGE. In particular, our ingredients are free of BPA. SIGG bottles are independently lab tested to affirm our products meet our promise.
