Cynergreen Stainless Steel Water Bottles are Safely Manufactured

There has been a lot of concern in recent months over products that are manufactured overseas, especially in countries like China. Many materials manufactured overseas have been found to contain lead which has put into affect new laws restricting the production of many handmade items.

To ensure consumer confidence, Cynergreen has focused their efforts on providing a safe, solid, sustainable product which is closely monitored throughout the production process.

Their manufacturing practices consist of constant monitoring in not only how the bottles are produced but in packaging, transportation, the environment in which they are used and promoted, while making sure the companies they work with provide a quality product all while educating the consumer at the same time.

Cynergreen maintains full control over their shipments at all levels providing:

Pre-Shipment Inspections (PSI)

Factory Audits (FA)

Social Audits (SA)

Initial Production Check (IPC)

During Production Check (DUPRO)

Container Loading Inspection (CLC)

Laboratory Testing (LT)

Production Monitoring (PM)

Here are a few additional details:

1. They employ an Asian and American Inspection team that monitors manufacturing at all levels including testing.

2. They have two factories that produce these bottles, both ISO 9001 certified.

3. They personally inspect the factories quarterly to insure labor standards, product standards and inspection teams are working at above average levels.

4. They try to only ship when a container is full, minimizing the impact of transportation as well as the exposure to any type of contamination in any way, from other products.
