About the Company
Green to Grow was founded in 2007 to produce exclusively BPA-free infant and toddler feeding products. The company currently sells PES (polyether sulfone) bottles and has plans to expand its product line this year. Green to Grow bottles are manufactured in Taiwan at the same plant that makes bottles for thinkbaby, and Green to Grow has theirs spot-tested three times a year using a Chicago lab; the company stated to Z Recommends that they also test their bottles in a lab in Denmark to ensure that their bottles meet EN 14350-1 and EN 14350-2 standards.

Reviews
Green to Grow plastic bottle
ContactMaterials: PES plastic and medical-grade silicone, made in Taiwan with plastics periodically tested at an Illinois lab.
Components: Bottle, collar, and nipple at one of three flow rates. Cute logos and color-coding for standard- and wide-neck bottles.
Price: $7.50-$10.50 apiece
Dishwasher safe? Top rack.
Observations: With these slightly amber-colored bottles’ cute cartoon fruit faces, matching snapsuits and cloth totes for greener grocery shopping, Green to Grow's aesthetics have style to spare. This simplicity extends to their design; compact and lightweight, Green to Grow bottles lack a vent or valve, and their standard-neck bottles can even take Evenflo glass bottles nipples. The company takes a cradle-to-cradle approach to environmental issues, with 100% recycled packaging, soy inks, and 1% of annual profits going to environmental causes, and the company has founded an innovative program to connect parents with used bottles to organizations that will accept them and pass them on to mothers in need.
Ratings: Ease of Use and Care: 9. Durability: 7. Eye Appeal: 10. Total points: 26/30. [Excerpted from this review.]
