What Your Water Is Touching
Why AWA Chose 316L
Rather than using the most common stainless steel found in reusable bottles, AWA is made from uncoated 316L stainless steel, inside and out.
316L contains molybdenum, which gives it greater resistance to corrosion than standard 304 stainless steel.
Then we electropolish the interior, creating a smoother stainless-steel surface with improved corrosion resistance.
We didn't coat a lesser surface. We started with a better one.

Score is a simple, disclosed rubric — material transparency, surface engineering, material grade, and long-term care — each worth 25 points. Not a safety rating.
Material Care
The inside matters just as much. The surface touching your water deserves regular care.
Over time, mineral deposits, beverage residue, and biofilm can build up inside any reusable bottle — even if it looks clean.
A bottle used every day should be cared for like the glass you drink from every day. We recommend giving your bottle a thorough clean regularly and avoiding unnecessarily abrasive cleaning methods on premium stainless-steel surfaces.

This is the AWA philosophy.
Starting fresh.
Many people discover their bottle's material for the first time through this report. If you've decided it's time for a fresh start, AWA was designed from the inside out.
Crafted from uncoated 316L stainless steel. Electropolished. Built to be cared for.
Explore AWASources: specs for each bottle are drawn from the manufacturer's own published materials pages. Where a brand doesn't publicly disclose a spec, we mark it "Not Disclosed" rather than guess. This report is educational and does not claim any bottle is unsafe.
