What is Silicone?
Silicone is made from materials that exist in abundance – the same materials that make up a huge percentage of the earth’s crust. Silipints don’t employ limited resources like petroleum used to make plastic cups. Silicone, in the form of a flexible substance, is a material composed of silicon, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, and a curing catalyst used to mold the silicone substance into the desired shape.
Sustainable
Derived from sand, silicone manufacturing and reusability helps keep Earth’s less abundant natural resources intact. It’s an eco-friendly superhero that’ll outlast and outperform any glass, plastic, stainless steel, and ceramic.Safe

More than a cup, Silipint bends to your needs of the moment. With a lifetime of reusability, they are ready for your daily dose of adventure.
How Safe Are Silipints?
Our eco-friendly drinkware, foodware, and accessories are not just safe because they’re BPA-free and won’t shatter, melt or collapse. According to Scientific American, they’re also safe because:
- They're chemically inert and stable
- Silipints don't react with or leach into food
- Silicone doesn't outgas vapors, even at high temperatures
- Silicone isn't toxic to soil or organic organisms
What Makes Silipints Eco-Friendly?
As for the end of life cycle, silicone can only be recycled at a specific plant. However, we offer to take in any product that a consumer wants to recycle, they just need to ship it to us. We have a resource partner, ECO USA, that takes those products, heats them up, puts it through a filtration and refinement process to produce recycle-grade silicone fluid which can then be reused by other companies.
