The very first Klean Kanteen™ was created to promote healthy living and respect for the environment by giving people an affordable alternative to plastic bottles. Klean Kanteen™ has always shared many of the concerns you, our customers, have expressed about manufacturing the bottles in China. Before a single bottle was ever produced, Klean Kanteen™ set in place checks and balances to ensure that their bottles are produced safely, sustainably and that the people making Klean Kanteens™ are treated well and paid fairly. By manufacturing in China, Klean Kanteen™ can provide a handcrafted bottle of exceptional quality at a reasonable price. For more information about the manufacturing process and Klean Kanteen’s commitment to environmental sustainability and fair labor standards, read how our products are responsibly made.
