HOW TO RECYCLE YOUR GO OCEAN BOTTLE

We want your GO to last you a lifetime. That’s why we champion durability in
our design, as well as offering a 10 year warranty on all of our products,
meaning we’ll replace defective or broken parts for free, always. Register your
bottle by scanning the base with your phone to activate your warranty.
If your faithful GO Ocean Bottle does reach the end of its life, here’s how you
can make sure it gets a chance at a new life.
Your GO Ocean Bottle, with a little care, can be deconstructed!
  1. Unscrew the funnel from the main base
  2. Remove your GO lid (remove the silicone straw, look inside the cap and you’ll see a small silicone cap gasket, pull this out, flip up the straw cap, and carefully use a flat screwdriver or similar to prize off the silicone straw cap seal)
  3. Look inside the funnel and you’ll see a larger silicone funnel gasket - this needs to be removed too
  4. Remove the silicone carry loop from the funnel
  5. Once you’ve removed all the silicone, screw your Go Lid back onto the funnel - these are made of the same plastic and can be recycled together (top tip: smaller objects are more likely to get lost, screwing them back together will help avoid this and ensure more material gets fully recycled!)
  6. To remove the baseplate from the base, locate the notch and use a flat screwdriver or similar object to carefully pop the baseplate away from the base
  7. You will notice another baseplate gasket, you will also need to separate this from the base 

RECYCLING RECOMENDATIONS

 

 

  • The baseplate, cap and funnel can all be recycled together in your recycling bin or at a local recycling centre. Separately, so can the stainless steel base.  

(Tip: Make sure you know what recycling your local authority offers before putting
it in your recycling bin - and even better, visit your local recycling centre so you
can be sure the right materials go into the right bins. You can find information on
what your local kerbside collection includes, as well as details of your nearest
recycling centre on your local council’s website)

  • If your carry loop is in good condition, keep it to customise your next GO Ocean Bottle! Already have a carry loop you love and use for your GO? Instead, you could repurpose this as a one of a kind key ring 
  • The silicone gaskets and straw cap seal will unfortunately have to go in your general waste, unless you can think of a better use for them (we’re all ears).

The average recycled content of our products across the entire range is 65%. The GO Ocean Bottle contains 61% recycled content. We also continue to research alternative materials for our unrecyclable components (silicone) that match current performance, although silicone currently makes up just 5.5% of the product on average across our range.


Thank you for joining us to turn the tide on plastic pollution
