Beginning in 2025, Trek Travel made the switch to water bottles made from plantโbased plastic. Because every Trek Travel guest has the chance to use and take home one of our bottles, it was important to us that this everyday item be created from lowerโemission materialsโand that it remain fully recyclable through standard blueโbin recycling programs.
In the 2025 season, Trek Travel used the Elite Jet Green bottle for our European operations and the Trek Voda Bio-Bottle for trips in the U.S. and the rest of the world. For 2026, we are continuing with the Elite Jet Green in Europe and introducing a new partnership with mountainFLOW for bottles in the U.S. and internationally. Both bottles are made from bioplastic derived from sugarcane rather than petroleum, cutting carbon emissions associated with traditional plastic production.
A Greener Choice for Cyclists
Both the Elite Jet Green and mountainFLOW bottles are made from at least 94% plant-based materials and are 100% recyclable, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional plastic bottles. They are completely BPAโfree and perform just like a standard cycling bottleโonly with a gentler impact on the planet.
MountainFLOW, based in Colorado, is a Certified B Corporation, meaning they are legally committed to considering how their decisions affect workers, customers, suppliers, communities, and the environment. Weโre proud to partner with organizations whose values align with our own commitment to sustainability.
Join Us in Supporting a Greener Future
Plastic use remains a major environmental challenge. At Trek Travel, weโre working to reduce our reliance on plastic by eliminating it wherever possible and choosing plantโbased or recycled options when alternatives are needed. By choosing a bottle made from bioplastic, youโre doing more than staying hydratedโyouโre supporting a greener cycling experience.
These bottles complement Trek Travelโs broader sustainability initiatives, which include ecoโfriendly gear choices and carbonโconscious cycling tours.
