The bottle
- sustainability a necessary importance
Values
Being able to offer a product that is made of the best materials for your health and could help stop the use of “single use” plastic, has been a big dream.
We are committed to continuing to be on the hunt for the best materials, for your health and for our soil. Did you know that plastic bottles are the biggest source of plastic waste?
We at EASE will take responsibility for the products we put on the market, and we make room for sustainable initiatives that break with the systemic consumption and production of single-use plastics.

Material selection for your EASE bottle
The glass bottle
My juice should be stored in a material that does not give off flavor or chemicals. Therefore, the bottle itself is made of 2 insulating layers of borosilicate glass, which is a tempered glass type. This means that the bottle can withstand both completely cold and very hot. The reason we have chosen to use glass is that it is one of the cleanest materials to store food in. And glass is easy to clean – so no bacteria get stuck on the hard smooth surface. In addition, glass has a great recyclable value.
Once you want to get rid of your EASE bottle, drop it off in a glass container so it can be recycled.
The straw
The straw is made of medical silicone – also called “liquid glass”.
Silicone is a transparent, synthetic material that is hypoallergenic and easy to clean. It is industrially manufactured, therefore can be made completely free of harmful ingredients. Medical silicone is the purest form of silicone, and is recommended i.a. therefore also for premature babies. Silicone has a smooth surface that is easy to clean and can also withstand scalding. Medical silicone is 100% free of harmful and endocrine disrupting ingredients such as BPA, PVC and phthalates.
NOTE! If you use raw turmeric in your juices and smoothies, the straw can take a little color from here, if you put it in water with a little dishwashing detergent, most of the color will disappear after a few hours – you can always buy a new or extra straw for your EASE -bottle here.
The lid
The lid is made of a PP, which is a pure plastic (medical). I have spent many hours nerding plastic for the last 3 years and have been to plastic fairs in Germany and to various conferences here in Denmark.
The strongest argument is that it can be recycled because it is clean. Bioplastics, if collected with the same type of plastic, can also be recycled, but virtually all bioplastics today are incinerated as waste because they cannot be sorted. Therefore, with advice from i.a. Plastic Change selected a clean and reusable material.
EASE® products are manufactured in Denmark and in China
