For 75 years, Nalgene Outdoor has been blazing trails in sustainability and style.
From its lab equipment origins in 1949 to becoming a cultural icon, the brand’s journey is one of simple, sustainable promises.
- Led “Pack-in, Pack-Out” Movement: Nalgene Outdoor pioneered a leave-no-trace mentality, expanding its benefits from the trails to summer camps and campuses nationwide.
- First to Appeal to the Masses by Introducing Vivid Colors & Graphics: In the ’90s, we brought color and graphics to reusable bottles just as workout trends took over the mainstream, making a Nalgene bottle a lifestyle must-have, not just your Dad’s camping gear.
- Harnessed Cutting Edge Customization: With advanced technologies and cutting-edge photo printing capabilities, Nalgene’s Customizer shop on Nalgene.com designs one-of-a-kind bottles.
- Doing Good with Sustainable Hydration Is Part of Who We Are: We’ve partnered with social and environmental initiatives like “Refill Not Landfill” and “Drink Up” with former First Lady Michelle Obama, replacing single-use plastic with sustainable hydration.
- Transformed Live Music Events by Normalizing Refill Stations: In collaboration with environmental nonprofit REVERB, Nalgene Outdoor has diverted more than 5 million single-use plastic bottles at live music events from landfills, and generated over $4 million for social and environmental causes.
- First to Convert to Recycled Materials Across Manufacturing: We were the first in the industry to adopt material derived from recycled plastic in the manufacturing of our bottles. As a result, Nalgene Outdoor will repurpose nearly 11 million pounds of recycled plastic by 2028 into reusable water bottles that minimize single-use plastic into the future.
-
We Care About the Water That Goes Into Our Bottles: We established the Nalgene Water Fund, to ensure all domestic communities have access to clean water, with over $400,000 donated to communities in crisis to date.
Today, Nalgene bottles remain proven and trusted companions for everyday adventures. Made in the USA from BPA/BPS-free materials derived from 50% plastic waste, Nalgene bottles are durable, lightweight, 100% leakproof and dishwasher safe.
