Why Silicone?

Why Silicone?

 

Odorless and easy to clean.

You gulp down your pre-workout on the way to the gym and toss the plastic protein shaker in your backseat or gym bag, only to have it bake in the hot sun for a few hours or get lost under your pile of work clothes. You hold your breath as you open the lid and rinse it out, shoving it as quickly as you can into the dishwasher. Sound familiar? It’s happened to us a few times. Since silicone doesn’t support microbiological growth, it’s odor free. Silicone is also non-stick, so no more scraping pesky protein clumps from the bottom of your shaker!

 

Flexible and Durable.

We probably don’t have to sell you on the fact that silicone’s flexibility allows for collapsing a 16oz bottle down to 2.5 inches. It’s durable too – unlike plastic, silicone can withstand extreme hot and cold temperatures and resists cracking.

 

Sustainable.

Silicone is derived from silica, more commonly known as white sand. Did you know that more than half of the Earth’s crust is made of silica? The abundance of silica is one reason that silicone has gained such popularity as an alternative to plastics, which tap into limited resources. Ditch the plastic and enjoy more than just protein shakes from your Kilo.
