The History of Nalgene Bottles
The history of Nalgene bottles dates back to the 1940s when chemist Emanuel Goldberg developed the first plastic pipette jars, leading to his founding of the Nalge Company. Fast forward to the 1960s when these laboratory bottles were first exposed to the wilderness, when lab-ware scientists who were big into hiking took these lab bottles on backpacking trips because the bottles were leak-proof and lightweight.
Skip ahead a few years now to the 1970s when the “Carry in/Carry Out” trend emerged and conservationists began discouraging campers from the common disposal practice of burning or burying cans and glass containers. By this point, these lab bottles had caught on with the hiking and adventure subculture, and were commonly used on outdoor adventures; even the company’s president’s son was using these bottles on Boy Scout trips, giving the president the idea to market these lab-ware products as a high-quality hiking and camping essentials, and thus, Nalgene Outdoor was born.
Known for their long-lasting, durable construction, Nalgene bottles have been a leader in the reusable water bottle industry since the beginning. Made with FDA compliant and BPA free materials, consumers recognize the quality that Nalgene offers, and find value in the Nalgene name. Now you know a bit about how Nalgene bottles came into existence, but have you ever wondered exactly how Nalgene bottles are made?
