bobble Insulate is worthy of an award because it offers a solution to two important challenges that consumers face – concern for the environmental impact of single-use bottles and finding a reusable drinking solution that is functional, affordable, and stylish.

By putting equal emphasis on form and function, the design of bobble Insulate is a catalyst for change – creating a reusable drinking solution that people actually want to carry all day long. The BPA-free, leak-proof, dishwasher-safe bottle will not sweat or spill. It keeps liquids hot for up to 12 hours and cold for up to 24 hours. It is easy to carry and comfortable in use—all-in-all, providing the perfect hydration solution for those on the go.

With regard to design, the new bobble Insulate is the definition of eco-chic. No other product balances style, function, affordability, and sustainability more eloquently.

The Insulate product line incorporates bobble’s iconic shape and style, with the addition of double-wall vacuum insulation technology for excellent heat and cold retention. Compared to other bottle designs in the category, bobble delivers a more comfortable user experience, with an hourglass shape that enables better grip and a wider mouth that allows consumers to more easily pour in liquids, add ice cubes, and drink from the bottle. Furthermore, we test all of our products for complete compliance under the US, FDA, EU, REACH, and LFGB programs. We have also created an extensive safety and authenticity testing program for all of our materials.
