There has been recent media coverage regarding the use of Bisphenol A (BPA) to manufacture polycarbonate bottles.
BPA is a component in the resin used to make our polycarbonate 11L and 15L bottles along with many other food related packaging including the linings of most canned foods.
In countless studies BPA (at normal low exposure levels) has been shown to be safe for human health.
Concerns have mainly centred around the heating of baby bottles in microwaves and the potential effect on infants in particular but not on polycarbonate water bottles.
