Nalgene bottles are renowned for being virtually indestructible, leak-proof, and, as of 2026, made from 50% recycled material (Tritan Renew). Their key differences include a lifetime guarantee, resistance to odors and flavors, and a wide-mouth design that fits most water filters. They are designed to withstand temperatures from -40°C to 100°C

Nalgene F.A.Q.????

How do I clean my Nalgene Bottle?

All of our bottles are dishwasher safe but the lids are not. We recommend placing them on the top rack and away from any heating element. You can also wash by hand. Fill your bottle about 2/3 full with very warm water and a few drops of bleach. Put the cap on, shake well, then let it sit for an hour. You can use a bottle scrubber to scrub out the cap and bottle. Rinse well.

Can I freeze my Nalgene Bottle?

Yes you can. However, only fill your bottle about 2/3 full to allow for expansion (and prevent cracking).

What type of plastic do you use?

We use Tritan Renew for the majority of our bottles. It is our new material derived from 50% waste plastic (using ISCC certified mass balance).

Are all your bottles BPA free and safe to consume from?

Yes, all of our bottles are free of BPA, BPS, BPF and phthalates. You can find more information here.

What is Mass Balance?

Nalgene Outdoor uses Tritan Renew material derived from 50% recycled plastic using ISCC certified mass balance. This is an accepted and certified protocol that documents and tracks recycled content through complex manufacturing systems. It’s used when sustainable inputs like recycled plastic are mixed with traditional inputs like fossil-fuel-based feedstock. To learn more about Mass Balance, click here.
