Responsibly Made

When we created the very first Klean Kanteen, our goal was to promote healthy living and respect for the environment by giving people an affordable alternative to plastic bottles. From the get go, we shared some of the concerns our customers have expressed about manufacturing in China. However, after much time and research into manufacturing options, we found that by making Klean Kanteens in China we could provide a handcrafted product of exceptional quality at a reasonable price. So, before a single Kanteen was ever crafted, we set about placing prudent checks and balances in place to ensure that our products are produced safely and sustainably, and that the people making Klean Kanteens are treated well and paid fairly.

Representatives of Klean Kanteen visit China several times a year to meet with management and many of the workers at production sites. Upon request, we have allowed major retailers to inspect our factories themselves. In addition, Klean Kanteens are laboratory tested on a regular basis to monitor product content and quality. But that's not the end of the story.

We've never skimped on quality and that's why Klean Kanteens cost a few bucks more than lesser quality bottles out there. When you buy a Klean Kanteen, you're getting the most durable, highest quality bottle on the market. We go the extra mile so our customers can enjoy peace of mind when they purchase a Klean Kanteen. Call it courtesy, call it fussy, or even call it karma – we're just doing our best to extend Klean Kanteen customers the same care we provide for our own families.

One Planet. One You!
