New Wave Enviro: Water Bottle and Container Review
After I wrote Stainless Steel Water Bottle: Smackdown, comparing and contrasting the top selling Stainless Steel water bottles on the market, New Wave Enviro Products contacted me and sent me some products to review.
New Wave Enviro Stainless Steel Water Bottle 40 Ounces
I’ve been lusting after a 40 ounce stainless steel water bottle for months. But, honestly, I couldn’t find a way to justify shelling out $38 for Klean Kanteen’s 40 ounce bottle, when I had two perfectly good 18 and 27 ounce bottles that would do just fine. (And I didn’t know New Wave Enviro made a 40 ounce bottle for only $17 until researching for the Smackdown post.)
Anyhow, New Wave Enviro was kind enough to sent me their 40 ounces stainless steel water bottle to give it a spin. I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks and honestly, I love it. 40 ounces is a perfect size for extended car rides, bike trips, hikes, or any sort of sporting event.
In comparison to a Klean Kanteen, there is really no difference except in price and in caps. The New Wave Enviro bottles are significantly cheaper. However, you won’t get the same cap options that you do with a Klean Kanteen (such as flat top, etc.) And the New Wave Enviro Stainless Steel Water Bottle 40 ounces ships with a stainless steel top, not the plastic top that is worse for the environment and more common with the Klean Kanteen.
New Wave Enviro Stainless Steel Food Container
About 2 years ago we ditched our plastic tupperware in favor of glass/pyrex tupperware. (A good variety set is this 18 piece Pyrex set.) We felt that warming up food in plastics - which can leach chemicals and melt at hot temperatures wasn’t worth any potential health risks. The only problem I’ve found with glass is that it is extremely heavy to carry on a daily commute to work. But, it never occurred to m
e that there was an alternative.
Well, another of the New Wave Enviro Products is the Stainless Steel Food Container. While you can’t heat it up, it’s great for salads, fruit, sandwiches, or any other dry foods. I will definitely be using this frequently.
New Wave Enviro Bamboo Lunch Bag
Another creative lunchware piece is the Bamboo Lunch Bag. Bamboo is lightweight and sustainable. And the bag is surprisingly soft. Chances are you’ll see me toting this around law school this fall.
You can by New Wave Enviro’s products on their website or Amazon.
i didn’t know that they made those other things - i’ll for sure have to look into it! thanks so much for sharing this with us!
Good post, I’m not completely familliar with the new wave product line. Do you know if the 40oz water bottle and food container are dishwasher friendly?
@Jessie - Yes they are top rack dishwasher friendly.
Great post. I had never heard of this product. Do you know where to buy them other than online? Thanks in advance.
