EarthLust provides ethically sourced, high quality, stainless steel water bottles. EarthLust bottles are uniquely designed and feature nature-inspired artwork. Our bottles are hand made from high quality food grade stainless steel, which is naturally safe unlined. We use non-toxic paints and BPA-free safe polypropylene #5 caps. Our three person company operates out of a earth friendly office in Sausalito, CA.
B Corporations are the future – profiteering is not a sustainable business model.
EarthLust only works with reputable suppliers who share our commitment to human rights and ethical standards of conduct. Our customers depend on the quality and value of our products and the underlying integrity of the workplaces that produce them. Our bottles are ethically made in China, and designed and tested in California.
The Change We Seek®
We seek to provide meaningful, long-lasting products that are ethically sourced within our established environmental standards for distribution at like-minded retailers.
