CLIENTS
TESTIMONIALS “ Raw Foundation’s stainless steel water bottles were a big hit with our festival audience and an essential offering after our ban on the sale of single-use plastics. Clean, sleek, robust and above all, environmentally friendly! Great service too. ” Jack Keery, Deer Shed Festival “ RAW pulled out all the stops to get us stock quickly. They literally flew out of the stall at the London event. ” James Coffey, Arcadia Spectacular
WHY STAINLESS STEEL? We only supply stainless steel bottles because they are the safest, healthiest, most beautiful and the best environmental option. Safe and healthy Research raises concerns that even BPA-free plastic products release hazardous compounds after undergoing wear and tear, such as through dishwashing, microwaving, or exposure to sunlight. In most cases Aluminium water bottles dent easily and contain a BPA lining, and even BPA-free aluminium water bottles release hazardous compounds. Stainless steel does not leach, stain or react with the contents put into it. It is durable, reusable, light, easy to carry and virtually indestructible.

RAW = Realising Another World. We believe we can create a world free from pointless plastic and waste, and still live life to the full. We strive for clean oceans and thriving ecosystems able to support generations of abundant life to come. Every bottle sold not only tackles single-use, but makes your brand look amazing and helps to fund RAW Foundation’s campaign work globally on this critical issue. A re-usable bottle typically prevents 167 single-use plastic bottles per year! Our clients join a community of companies taking action for a better world.
CONFIDENCE IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN Our manufacturer is based in mainland China. Bottles are shipped into our UK warehouse by sea-freight. We have searched all over the World for the highest quality bottle manufacturers and we ensure that our manufacturers maintain high standards of quality safe working conditions for their employees. (BS EN ISO9000 / BSCI environmental compliance, working conditions and Social Compliance). Why import from China? The raw materials for stainless steel mostly come from China anyway. They have the latest high-tech equipment and tools up for the job, and can supply at competitive rates. The bottles are printed or lazer-etched in the UK. We are committed to exploring the feasibility of developing a fully UK sourced and manufactured bottle. Photo credit: Can Yaman
