Reduce-Reuse-Recycle ASEA bottles


ASEA bottles are made from Number 2 High Density Polyethylene or HDPE 2. This opaque plastic is food grade,  the same type used for milk, pills and many other consumable products.
HDPE containers that are not food grade can outgas or leach into their contents, food-grade plastics are of a higher purity, and FDA-certified food-grade HDPE products are appropriate for food storage.

I've highlighted the recycle code on the bottom of the ASEA bottle in green. I refill them after taking off the label and refrigerate several for my bike rides. If my kids were still in soccer I'd pass them out to the team with a drawstring bag.
Reduce-Reuse-Recycle.
