OPTIONS

In Copenhagen we know how to enjoy life. Yes, we are busy people, but we take time to stay healthy, refreshed and relaxed. The bike lanes are never empty and year after year, we buy more and more ecological products. Another thing you find in Copenhagen, is beautiful Scandinavian Design. From small artisan shops to big flagship stores, the simple and functionalistic style stands strong through the years.

No wonder Copenhagen was the birthplace of the Retap Bottle.

What if, everywhere around you, there were only well-designed products. We wouldn’t have to throw things out, that weren’t made to last. Less waste means a better environment: so no litter in your direct environment, but also a sustainable planet with clean water, air and soil.

Imagine how beautiful our cities would look if people only had well-designed products.

We can make this happen. It’s already happening everywhere around us and we hope that you want to support this vision.

eco-friendliness, and its ability

Reusable water bottles

to resist extreme temperature

designed for drinking

Borosilicate glass is famous for its

fluctuations. That makes it very suitable for use in laboratoria and for professional kitchenware.

The properties of the borosilicate glass we use are defined by the international standard ISO 3585 which we follow in the production of the Retap Bottles. Another characteristic of borosilicate glass is a lower density. This makes the material lighter than normal glassware.

Facts: Thermoplastic Elastomer The Retap Lids are made of a thermoplastic elastomer called TPE SEBS. We chose TPE for the Retap Lids because of its physical abilities. Most important was the fine-tuning of the elasticity.

The lids need to stretch out to smoothly fit the Retap Bottle, but also be solid enough, so they won’t fall off. TPE is resistant to heat until 120 °C before deforming. That’s why the lids are suitable for cleaning in the dishwasher. Last but not least, the Retap Lids are free of phthalates and BPA.

CARBON Carbon Footprint Retap Independent research by Carbon Footprint Ltd. has shown that you can save 30,2 kg of CO2 equivalent (CO2e) every year by using a Retap Bottle 05 instead of buying bottled water. That also equals the production of 84 new Retap Bottles that can replace even more plastic bottles.

We offer companies a certificate with a calculation of the CO2 savings they achieve by using Retap Bottles.
