Cheeki is a fresh new Australian-owned brand that was
launched with the aim of supplying safe, healthy and fun stainless
steel bottles. As a result we hope to encourage a significantly reduced
consumption of disposable plastic water bottles.

About BPA
– Bisphenol A is extremely widespread among many household plastics
such as baby bottles and food storage containers. BPA is a chemical
used in the manufacture of plastics and epoxy resins and is a known
carcinogen that has been linked to brain synapse, reproductive and
developmental impairments. Canada announced in 2008 it’s intent to ban
the sale of baby bottles containing BPA’s.
Furthermore, repeated use of common disposable bottles (PET) can cause
the plastic to break down and carcinogens to leach into your drinking
water. Try leaving a full plastic bottle (re-used) and a full Cheeki
bottle overnight and next morning take a sip from each – the difference
in taste is incredible. Cheeki Lids are made from BPA-free non-leaching
polypropylene.
Environmental Concerns
- Unless disposable plastic bottles are incinerated, they will be
around in landfills, oceans and parks for hundreds of years. Most of us
nowadays like to think that we are environmentally conscious, yet take
a look at how many people are buying, carrying around and throwing out
plastic bottles on a daily basis! Its mind-boggling. (not to mention
the health risk, the taste or the expense). Millions of plastic bottles
are thrown out – it’s really one of modern life ’s most ludicrous
“developments” (not to mention the energy consumed in transportation
and refrigeration).
Economy
– you only need to refill your Cheeki bottle approximately five times
as compared to purchasing five bottled waters to “break even”. We then
hope you refill your Cheeki bottle five hundred times – for free!!
(that’s a saving of about $1700!)
Fun
– a cheeky range of Cheeki bottles that will quickly grow. Throw them
in your bag, travel with them in your car, and stay hydrated. Sports
Lids are a great accessory, as are the kids handles for the baby
bottles. Slings and Pouches coming soon!
Dishwasher Safe – but best not to put the lids in the dishwasher, the rubber washer doesn’t like it! |
