Stylishly Reducing Landfills Across Canada CALGARY, AB– Did you know that millions of empty water bottles are being dumped in to Canadian landfills each year? Find that statistic hard to swallow? One Canadian woman thought so and has made it her mission to do something about it.By combining a sense of style and creativity with a passion to find a better solution for the planet, Calgary’s own Shannon Andrukowcreated an alternative to Bisphenol A (BPA) bottles called Otterbottle. Each Otterbottle is 100%, 18/8 grade stainless steel, BPA-free and earth-friendly, sporting a different design motif on each bottle to suit everyone’s tastes. Even before the recent Health Canada announcement, which placed BPA on its list of toxic substances due to its harmful effects, Shannon was concerned about the earth and was appalled by the sheer number of plastic water bottles being poured into landfills.She was inspired to find a water bottle that was safe, stylish and truly suited her needs.When she couldn’t find what she was looking for on the market, her inner environmentalist met her inner entrepreneur, and thus, Otterbottle Inc. was born. “It was shocking to me that each year Canadians would dump tonnes andtonnesof water bottles into our landfills,” says Shannon Andrukow, Founder and President ofOtterbottle Inc.“I have been preaching the reduction of plastic water bottles for what seems like forever.To me, it is one of the biggest environmental and financial wastes out there.I am so excited that municipalities in Canada are now starting to ban the plastic bottle! My goal is to reduce the amount of waste, the amount of plastic and to provide a safe and healthy alternative to plastic.” Otterbottles are 100% 18/8 grade stainless steel bottles (inside and out and 100 percent recyclable), have no BPA (which is officially toxic to your health), no aluminum and no lining and are dishwasher-safe – making them a great choice to help protect our water, health and environment. These reusable bottles are working to reduce the amount of landfill waste and, in addition, offer a uniquely Canadian bottle to all the style and eco-conscious Canadians out there. Bottles Galore!
