Glass and Silicone
green sprouts makes Feeding, Toys, and Wellness products with safety and health in mind. We use a range of quality materials to provide functionality and convenience for baby's daily care and whole development. When possible we prefer to use glass or silicone, instead of petroleum-based plastics in cups, dishes, utensils, and teethers.
Silicone was developed as a petroleum-free alternative to natural rubber and is silica (sand) based. It is an inert and stable material, which means it is unlikely to react with or leach into food, or to give off odors of vapors.
Glass, like silicone, has as it's main component silica (sand). It is chemically stable and does not absorb tastes or odors. Petroleum-free glass is used in green sprouts Glass Sip & Straw inner cup.
