Glass you can take anywhere.

Trace was founded for one reason: to make home goods as eco-friendly as we possibly can. That goal shapes every choice we make, from the materials we use to how long a product should last.

It's how we got to the water bottle, because every water bottle has a catch. Plastic can hold flavors and wear out. Metal can taste like metal. Glass tastes clean, but feels too fragile to carry.

So we built a borosilicate glass bottle in a bamboo sleeve. It's 93% glass and bamboo, made to be refilled for years instead of thrown away. We're not finished, either: the cap and a small inner part still use plastic, and we'll keep working to do better. See the full breakdown on our Sustainability page.

What we make

Everyday essentials in glass, bamboo and wood: a water bottle, meal jars, a utensil set and a cutting board set.

What we tell you straight

• The bottle's body is glass and its sleeve is bamboo. The cap and a small inner part use polypropylene plastic.
• Glass can break, so every bottle has a 90-day shatter guarantee.
• If it isn't for you, you have 30 days to get your money back.
• Each bottle carries a 4.4 kg CO2 offset through Tradewater.

Who's behind it

Trace was founded by Cuyler Monahan, an engineer and materials scientist based in St. Paul, Minnesota, with over 5 years in manufacturing.

Before Trace, Cuyler researched biocompatible materials at university, worked in aerospace manufacturing, and led more than 100 new product launches for Fortune 500 clients, including medical products. That's why we tell you exactly what the bottle is made of, plastic parts included.
