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.

Sustainable Design
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.

Our Signature Material

Sourcing recycled stainless steel isn’t just better for the planet, it’s the most important decision our brand can make to lower the environmental impact of our products. In 2025, 81% of stainless steel units were made with recycled stainless steel*.

A story of culture, identity and community you can hold in your hand. In partnership with Nest, we’re celebrating and supporting artisans from around the world by sharing their artwork through limited-edition collections.

**AeroLight technology incorporates spun steel that is thinner than standard stainless steel drinkware. As a result, each bottle requires less stainless steel than traditional bottles.
