“Now anyone using a Nalgene water bottle can feel that much better about the water they consume, no matter where their adventures take them,” says Elissa McGee, general manager, Nalgene Outdoor. “We’re thrilled to partner with Epic Water Filters, a brand that cares as much as we do about keeping you hydrated, while also reducing single use plastics and promoting sustainability.”

The Everywhere Filter uses patented CoreXchange Technology™ to remove more than 200+ contaminants from tap and freshwater. The multi-layered filter targets both tap water (Chlorine, Microplastics, Lead, PFAS, etc.) as well as outdoor water contaminants (Bacteria, Virus, Cryptosporidium, Giardia, etc.). Each filter has a replaceable filter cartridge that is good for 75 gallons of clean water or about four months of daily use and is compatible with all 32- and 48-ounce Wide Mouth and 24oz On-the-Fly Nalgene water bottles.

“We were purposeful in designing Epic’s patented Everywhere Filter System to enhance the already great experience of drinking from a Nalgene bottle,” says Joel Stevens, co-founder, Epic Water Filters. “Our water filters offer Nalgene bottle users peace of mind that their water is clean and also uphold a commitment to a more sustainable lifestyle. Each everywhere filter cartridge replaces the need to buy 550 single-use plastic water bottles.”

The Everywhere Filter System, which replaces an existing Nalgene bottle cap, is available for purchase on Nalgene.com in the following combinations:

Nalgene Outdoor and Epic Water Filters: A Shared Commitment to Sustainable Hydration

As two like minded brands, Nalgene Outdoor and Epic Water Filters share a commitment to reducing and repurposing single use plastics for the betterment of the environment and mankind. Both products are designed and made in the USA.

For more than 70 years, Nalgene Outdoor has sourced and made its bottles in the USA to minimize its carbon footprint and, as of January 2023, all Nalgene lifestyle bottles are made with material derived from 50% certified recycled content. Today, by using a Nalgene bottle, users not only eliminate the future use of single plastics but promote the repurposing of existing plastic waste otherwise destined for a landfill.

In similar fashion, Epic Water Filters seeks to provide a solution for the world problem of accessing clean water without the continued use of single-use plastic water bottles. Designed for prolific and long-term use, each Everywhere Bottle Filter filter cartridge replaces the equivalent of 550+ plastic bottles, and at end of life is 100% recyclable (with hard to recycle plastics or #7 plastics).

Founded in 1949 as a manufacturer of the first plastic pipette holder, the company soon expanded its product line to include state-of-the-art polyethylene labware under the NALGENE brand. By the mid-1970s, outdoor enthusiasts had discovered the taste and odor-resistant, leak-proof and rugged properties of NALGENE's large selection of plastic containers. In response to this emerging demand, NALGENE Outdoor Products was formed and today the consumer-oriented business offers its customers a wide choice of safe, environmentally friendly, BPA- and BPS- free products that meet their lifestyle needs.
