Eastman Tritan™ Copolyester is BPA-free, Impact Resistant and Crystal Clear
Kingsport, TN (Nov. 2, 2009) – Eastman Chemical Company launches its newest Eastman Insight video on Weil Baby™ baby bottle at www.eastman.com/insights. Made with Eastman Tritan™ copolyester, Weil Baby™ meets evolving market demand by offering a bisphenol-A (BPA)-free alternative that is crystal clear and dishwasher durable.
The video documents Steve Schmidt the CEO of Key Baby, the maker of Weil Baby™ bottles, recounting his search for a durable material to use for their innovative new bottle. The solution, Eastman Tritan™ copolyester, provided Key Baby with an impact resistant, crystal clear, and dishwasher safe material that meets consumer demand for innovative infant-care products.
“I believe that we’ve created the highest quality baby bottle that’s ever been made,” says Schmidt in the video.
The Weil Baby™ bottle is named for and endorsed by Dr. Andrew Weil, the father of the healthy living movement, leader in integrated medicine, and author of five consecutive best-selling books.
“Steve approached us with the whole story. He wanted a material that was innovative and durable,” says Randy Beavers, business development manager, Eastman Chemical Company. “Fortunately, Eastman Tritan™ copolyester met all of Weil Baby’s uncompromising demands for a safe, durable and easy-to-use baby bottle.”
