Should You Go BPA Free?

We run special sales on items each week. This week our special pricing is for BPA Free coffee mugs and water bottles. Sounds pretty cool, right? But what is BPA? And why is BPA Free is the way to go?

What is BPA?
Very simply put, BPA is an organic compound used as a building block in plastics and plastic additives. Unfortunately, concerns about its safety have been around since the 1930s. In fact, in 2009, the FDA released a report raising concerns about its safety for infants and young children. Studies are showing potential links between BPA exposure and cancer, obesity, neurological issues, thyroid function and diabetes.

Here’s a quick list of Reasons to Go BPA-Free!

1. Scientific studies are conclusively showing that it is healthier for you and your children
to reduce your long-term exposure to BPA.
2. Non-plastic drinkware (like a stainless steel coffee mug) is tougher and less likely to break.
3. It is more expensive to recycle plastics containing BPA with a smaller aftermarket for the
recycled resins that are produced.

So choose to go BPA Free in your office and at home. When it’s time to purchase coffee mugs and water bottles for your company and your clients, call us and make sure you specify BPA Free. The added benefit to your bottom line? They’re on sale now through Earth Day on April 22nd!
