There's been some interesting pushes to use glass linings here.
Ex Chico in the baby bottle space (glass lined plastic bottles) Purist in the adult bottle space (glass lined stainless steel).
You can also get plenty of unlined aluminum/stainless cups/bottles (amazon is full of them).
No idea how that idea is going to play out long term.
- ntonozzi 1y agoPurist has some cool plastic bottles with a glass liner: https://www.specialized.com/us/en/purist-watergate-water-bottle/p/161979 https://www.specialized.com/us/en/purist-watergate-water-bot... They are lightweight and flexible and supposedly have minimal plastic contact with water.
- timschmidt 1y ago> features an amorphous silicon dioxide coating that's infused into the inner-wall of the bottle. Essentially, this forms a glass-like finish that provides a totally natural, and completely inert, solution to the problem "glass-like" != glass Dollars to doughnuts that coating is spray lined. Which means some sort of solvent, at a minimum. And I'm unaware of any way to fuse silica at temperatures under which plastic would survive, so it's a coating with a binder (dissolved in the solvent) which can still be damaged, scratched, leach or flake off into the water. I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Glass, stainless steel (316 please), or ceramics for me.
