Product Origins

When we created the very first Klean Kanteen our goal was to promote healthy living and respect for the environment by giving people an affordable alternative to plastic bottles.

From the get go, we shared many of the concerns you, our customers, have expressed about manufacturing the bottles in China. Before a single bottle was ever produced, we set in place checks and balances to ensure that our bottles are produced safely, sustainably and that the people making Klean Kanteens are treated well and paid fairly.

Klean Kanteen is a family-owned business and we care for everyone on our team, from the person who answers your calls in California, to the welder in China who meticulously joins the parts of each Kanteen. By manufacturing our bottles in China, we can provide a handcrafted bottle of exceptional quality at a reasonable price.

For more information, read about our NSF certification and manufacturing process.

We visit our manufacturing facilities several times a year and perform audits every six months to ensure all of our products are produced with respect for the environment and that the workers in our factories are treated well and paid fairly.

We require fair labor standards, including the ethical treatment of factory workers, child labor rules, wages and benefits, health and safety.

The Klean Kanteen is and will continue to be one of the safest and most sustainable beverage containers on the market.

Not only do we uphold strict design and manufacturing standards at our factories, we also regularly test the metal in our bottles at a U.S. lab. Every three to four months the science division of EMSL Analytical, Inc. tests the elemental composition of metal in Klean Kanteens for hazardous substances.

Friends of Klean Kanteen

Every social change, every movement, every step toward a better tomorrow takes shape when people come together and work toward a common goal. At Klean Kanteen, we celebrate and promote companies, organizations, and individuals who share our beliefs and philosophies. We like to think of them as Friends.

Our Friends include organizations and individuals worldwide who are working to make a difference, from tiny hometown environmental education programs to nationally-acclaimed leaders in advocacy for health and environmental stewardship, music festivals and private companies known world-wide for their earth-in-mind ways of doing business; our Friends are truly an inspiring bunch.

At Klean Kanteen, we spend extra time and resources with some of our non-profit Friends to help get the word out about issues close to our heart. Through our membership with 1% For The Planet, we donate 1% of our gross annual sales to environmental conservation and education efforts of non-profit organizations such as the Breast Cancer Fund, Healthy Child Healthy World, and Environmental Working Group. We also aim to spread the word about the great works (and the great challenges) of our Friends by featuring them on our site.

The organizations currently featured among Our Friends give an incredible amount of talent and energy toward their respective causes: the significant personal and ecological benefits of choosing tap water over bottled water (Take Back the Tap); development of inspiring connections to Nature and leadership in outdoor environmental education (Yosemite Institutes); and relentless efforts to identify and eliminate environmental causes of disease (Breast Cancer Fund). We hope you’ll get to know these Friends a little better through our web site. You may find yourself wanting to know more about them or the issues they address after this little introduction, or even feel compelled to strike up a new friendship yourself. That’s great, too.

Miscellaneous

If you are experiencing some of the following problems with your Kanteen, you may have a bottle with a manufacturer defect:

pinhole leaks

Kanteens are welded by hand, and on rare occasions and tiny hole at the weld will cause a small leak. This manufacturer defect is covered by the warranty.

received damaged

If your Klean Kanteen arrives with dents, scratches or other flaws it will be replaced. Please inspect packaging to determine if it was damaged in transit.

rough welds

All welds and surfaces on a klean kanteen are smoothed and polished, if your kanteen has a rough weld, this is a defect.

peeling or flaking paint

Paint can be chipped off by the normal wear and tear of abrasion and impacts. This type of paint chipping is not a defect and is not covered by the warranty (it is the nature of all paint). If the paint is easily flaking off, usually in an area larger than a quarter, this would constitute a defect and is covered by the warranty. If you are unsure, contact warranty@kleankanteen.com
