When will Earthlings launch?

We're in production now. We'll contact Founding Families directly when the first run is confirmed and ready to ship. We'd rather tell you when we're certain than give you a date we can't keep.

What does being a Founding Family mean?

Founding Families are the first people to access the Earthlings Everyday Adventure System when the first production run is ready. You'll receive an email 48 hours before we open to the public, with £10 off any bundle included — no code, no time limit. No newsletter you didn't ask for.

What exactly are the products made from?

The lunch boxes, snack pots, dip pot, and bottle are made from 304 food-grade stainless steel (18/8) — no coatings, no inks, no liners. The logos are laser-etched directly into the metal. The seals are food-grade silicone, removable without tools. The spork is titanium.

Can I put my adventure system in the dishwasher?

Yes. All Earthlings lunchboxes, snack pots, bottles and cutlery including their cases are dishwasher safe.

Stainless steel is durable, non-reactive, and completely food safe — designed to last years, not seasons. It won't stain, absorb odours, or need replacing every couple of years the way plastic containers often do. 304 food-grade stainless steel — the grade used in Earthlings products — is the same material used in professional kitchen equipment. It's independently tested for heavy metal migration, REACH SVHC compliant, and dishwasher safe for daily use. Unlike many plastic containers, it doesn't degrade with heat, won't absorb food smells over time, and doesn't need replacing when it discolours.

Is a stainless steel lunchbox better than plastic?

For everyday school use, stainless steel outperforms plastic on durability, hygiene and longevity. Plastic containers crack, stain, warp in the dishwasher and absorb food odours over time. A well-made stainless steel lunchbox won't do any of those things. The more useful question for most families is total cost over time. A plastic lunchbox replaced twice a year costs more over three years than a stainless steel system bought once. It also produces more waste. Earthlings systems are independently tested for food safety, dishwasher safe, and designed to be used daily for years.

Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle - 500ml

For school runs, woodland walks, beach days and everything in between.

Hydration should move as easily as family life does.

Each bottle includes two interchangeable lids to suit the moment:

a stainless steel screw cap for timeless everyday use
a sports cap for easy sipping on the move

FAQ's

Is it leakproof?

Yes. The bottle features a silicone sealing ring within both the stainless steel cap and Pp sports cap designed to help prevent leaks when the lid is securely fastened.

Is it insulated?

Yes. The double-wall vacuum-insulated design helps keep drinks cold for longer in warm weather and warm for longer during colder months.

Is it BPA-free?

Yes. The bottle is completely BPA-free and contains no harmful plastic linings or coatings.

What is it made from?

The bottle is made from durable food-grade 304 stainless steel with a food-safe silicone sealing ring. These materials were selected for their safety, durability and recyclability.

What is 304 Stainless Steel?

Stainless steel comes in different grades, each designed for different uses. Some grades are better suited to industrial or construction use, while others are specifically chosen for food contact and everyday durability.

304 stainless steel is one of the highest quality and most widely trusted food-grade stainless steels. It offers an excellent balance of strength, rust resistance, safety, and longevity, making it ideal for lunchware and food containers. It’s highly resistant to corrosion, won’t absorb flavours or odours, and is easy to clean and dishwasher safe.

Unlike lower-grade metals, 304 stainless steel is designed to withstand years of daily use without degrading — making it a durable, reusable alternative to plastic.

Will drinks taste metallic?

No. Food-grade stainless steel does not transfer flavours and was independently tested for taste and odour neutrality. Drinks taste as they should.

Is it suitable for school?

Absolutely. The 500ml size is ideal for school bags while remaining equally at home on family outings, holidays, picnics and outdoor adventures.

Can children open it themselves?

Yes. The lid is designed to be secure while remaining easy for children to use independently, supporting Earthlings’ focus on encouraging confidence and autonomy.

The included sports cap is especially suited for younger children to use.

Is it dishwasher safe?

Absolutely. All our bottles are dishwasher-safe to make cleaning easy.

Has it been independently tested?

Yes. Independent SGS testing confirmed compliance with recognised food-contact safety requirements, including heavy metal migration testing and sensory testing for taste and odour.

What is the capacity?

The bottle holds 500ml, making it ideal for school days, family outings, woodland walks, travel and everyday hydration.

What age is the bottle suitable for?

500ml is our standard bottle size across the range. For nursery and pre-school children, it's sized to last well beyond this stage — many families find a single bottle sees a child through from nursery into the early years of school, rather than needing to size up. If your child is very young, you may find they don't finish a full 500ml in a day, which is normal — the bottle is designed to be topped up rather than always emptied.

Is there any plastic in this bottle?

The bottle comes with a fully stainless steel screw top lid with silicone sealing ring to prevent leaks.

We also include a plastic sports cap which you can use if you wish. This lid is made out of 100% PP with a silicone sealing ring and is recyclable.
