Sustainability at Stanley 1913

100+ Years of Building Better

2026 Impact Report

Creating, building and inventing in a better way for a better life and world started for us in 1913 when William Stanley, Jr. invented the all-steel vacuum bottle. These bottles were more than inventive – they were made to last. Durable, reusable products aren't just part of our sustainability strategy. They're just who we are.

Durability

Built for Life is how we’ve always made things. The Vacuum Bottles have kept coffee hot since 1913.

Minimal Materials

Less material, lighter bottle with AeroLight technology– like in the Transit Flip Top Mugs.

Recycled Content

Using recycled stainless steel is the most impactful option we have to lower the carbon footprint of the bottle in your hand. Many of our products are made with 90% recycled stainless steel*, such as the Quencher ProTour Flip Straw Tumbler.

Zero Waste

Skip the takeout containers, pack what matters. Bring your lunch and utensils in something built to last, like the All Day Mini Lunch Box.

Extended Life

One broken part shouldn't mean game over. Keep your gear going for years with replacement parts like the Quencher H2.0 FlowStateâ„¢ Tumbler Lid.

Our Signature Material

Recycled stainless steel starts with scrap. Ours is over 90% scrap-sourced, cutting the need for virgin material at the root. It's just one of the ways we lessen the footprint of every Stanley 1913 product*.
