background
Recently, there has been a great deal of controversy around plastics. Research has shown that newly introduced, BPA-free plastics may be just as harmful as their predecessors. The market is abundant with stylish glass bottles, but very few offer a complete solution: caps, lids, and straws are often made from plastics. We believe this defeats the purpose of having a glass beverage bottle. The Meshbottle is our patent pending solution to this design challenge.
