BottlesUp Glass was a proud sponsor of the TED x talk here in San Miguel de Allende last weekend, and we donated bottles to the speakers.

The bottles are enhanced by colorful food-grade silicone caps and grippers made in Maine. BottlesUp’s bottles are free of known toxins including Bisphenol-A (BPA), phthalates, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), and polycarbonates that research has shown can compromise human health. There is zero plastic in the product or packaging.
