Tangaora Blue Ocean Care Society Stainless Steel Water Bottles
A great way to help reduce your carbon footprint is to start drinking from a reusable water bottle. There are many reusable water bottles available, but many bottles tend to impart a “plastic” taste to the water and may use BPA (Bisphenol-A) in the plastic. Because of this, we offer a reusable stainless steel water bottle which gives a great taste and is built to last. Pureau have also donated the proceeds of the sale of these stainless steel water bottles to Tangaroa Blue to help continue our Australian Marine Debris Initiative! The Tangaroa Blue Ocean Care Stainless Steel Water Bottle costs $18.95 plus $6 postage within Australia. For international orders please email Heidi Taylor at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it for postage costs.
