Bottle Up began with a simple human truth

Okay, maybe we’re biased, but we think our hometown, Amsterdam, is beautiful.

And our history has given us special connection to the water.

Then you’ll understand, why our frustration at seeing our canals filled with single-use plastic meant we had to act: “grab and go” water culture had to change.

So, we started Bottle Up, creating a bottle that’s attractive enough to keep, durable enough to last, safe enough to refill, and just as convenient and refreshing as ordinary bottled water. Our mission is simple: to eliminate single-use water bottles. Our solution: Bottle Up.

Say goodbye to single-uselessness. Say hello to grab and go, and go and go.

Each long-lasting, refillable Bottle Up bottle replaces dozens, if not hundreds of single-use plastic bottles. It’s a great way to begin the end of single-use insanity.

Every bottle counts

Bottle Up isn’t just planet positive, it’s people positive. Every bottle sold means another donation to our partners at Made Blue.

They’re doing wonderful work, ensuring clean, safe drinking water to communities in developing countries all over the world.

Is it the perfect bottle? Maybe. Can it make a difference? Absolutely.

Water on the go is not going away. And why should it? These days, it’s part of our carefree, active lifestyles. The convenience of bottled water is great! It’s the wastefulness that has to go. Instead of asking people to change their lifestyle, we changed the bottle.

Our bottle is better. It’s made from renewable sugar cane, which is better for the planet. It’s BPA free so you can reuse it again and again, which reduces single-use plastics. And it’s filled with pure spring water, so it’s always refreshing. Bottle Up is water on the go, without the woes.

Plant-based progress

The raw material of our bottles is sugar cane. We chose sugar cane, because it’s a low impact crop, requiring little to no fertilizer or additional irrigation. Sugar cane as the name implies, is where we get sugar. But that’s not all we get.

Once all the sweet stuff is squeezed out, the remaining pulp, called bagasse, can then be used as fuel, feed, fertilizer, or in our case, turned into durable plant-based plastic.

Totally, completely, entirely BPA free

As you might have guessed by the headline, the sugar cane derived plastic in Bottle Up bottles is BPA free. BPA, bisphenol A, is a spooky chemical found in many plastics.

Long story, short… it’s bad stuff, so we left it out. Kinda, makes sense doesn’t it?

Think global. Drink local.

We don’t drag our water halfway across the world from sacred Polynesian springs. Why? Two reasons.

1. Because Polynesians need their own water.

2. Because it’s stupid.

Our water comes from local sources, close to where it’s sold. Less transport means less CO2, and that means less global warming. Bottle Up cools, and refreshes in more ways than one. Clever aye?
