We've all been there. Haven't we?
After cycling for hours, you take a sip from your water bottle – but instead of refreshment, you are met with a stale plastic taste. This is not only a taste killer, but also potentially harmful to your health.
We have solved exactly this problem:
For years we have been developing a global innovation that combines sport, health and sustainability – the first squeezable metal bottle with an inner layer of pure titanium.
The solution - innovation meets functionality
KEEGO combines the advantages of plastic bottles (flexibility, lightness, handling) with those of metal bottles (taste neutrality, hygiene, durability).
The result: a high-performance sports bottle with which the drink remains completely free of plastic and harmful substances thanks to an innovative titanium inner core - and can still be squeezed.
Materials & construction - high-tech meets everyday practicality
Inside of the bottle:
Pure titanium - neutral taste, antibacterial, non-stick.
Guarantees that the drink never comes into contact with harmful substances.
Outer shell:
Elastic plastic - ensures squeezability and protection of the bottle.
Partially recycled material see also KEEGO Refresh program.
Mouthpiece:
Food-safe silicone that is not based on petroleum and does not release any harmful substances. The drink always stays clean and cannot be contaminated.
Self-closing valve - no screwing or pulling.
Easy to clean and available in many colors for individual design.
Optional: Dust Cap or Extra Flow Kombi for leak-proof transport
Combination of metal and plastic:
A multi-layer technology combines titanium with plastic.
Developed for 10,000s squeezes and more - without loss of function or material fatigue. Can be separated in the recycling process by different melting points.
Certified safety:
- Food safe
- FDA approved
- Free from plasticizers, BPA, BPS, BPF & phthalates
- Multi-award winning technology
Design, Ergonomics & Weight
- Ergonomic shape – sits well and non-slip in the hand
- Large opening of the bottle body – easy to fill & clean
- Lightweight: 750ml = 86g, 500ml = 72g
- Fits in every bottle holder
- Winner of several design awards
Sustainability & Production
Production in Europe:
- Bottle body from Germany
- Coating in Denmark
- Packaging & storage in Germany
- Shipping from Germany primarily to the main target market Germany
KEEGO Refresh: Recycling program for old bottles
Sophisticated materials: No mono-material, but recyclable due to different melting points.
On average, 5x longer service life than conventional plastic bottles and therefore a smaller ecological footprint overall.
Conclusion: KEEGO is more than just a water bottle
KEEGO is the result of years of intensive research, visionary product development, community integration and genuine passion.
EVOLUTION OF THE WATER BOTTLE
The history of the drinking bottle is a history of progress - from heavy glass containers via aluminum to the "modern" plastic sports bottle.
Today, 99% of reusable sports bottles are made of PE or PP plastic. This is a very cheap solution and one that can potentially endanger our health.
Only with KEEGO this evolution reached a new innovative peak.
KEEGO is the world's first squeezable metal bottle which combines the advantages of plastic and metal - for a clean, tasteless and healthy drinking experience without compromise.
The starting point:
Plastic bottles have been widely used in sports since the 1970s.
Particularly in cycling, they represented a major advance over the earlier aluminum bottles with their cork closures.
Better functionality was a clear driver for this change at the time.
The plastic bottle was lighter, more durable, safer, fitted better in the bottle cage and - most importantly - you could drink faster thanks to the squeezability. These advantages over a metal bottle were so massive that the metal bottle disappeared in sport.
Since then, plastic has begun its "triumphal march" into most areas of our lives. Better functionality and a better price - who can compete with that?
Today, you can get a standard plastic sports bottle for just €0.50 per piece. A dream, not only for every user but especially for every marketer! Because with a beautiful logo of a great cycling brand, you can sell it for €20 or more.
Before developing the first KEEGO, we took a close look at the disadvantages of plastic sports bottles.
The 3 major drawbacks are: Taste - Health - and Cleaning.
Reason enough to invest in an alternative solution.
Developed in Vienna – built for the world
An idea born on a mountain tour became a multi-award-winning product – born from the desire to no longer have to trade functionality for health and sustainability.
Why titanium – and how does it become elastic?
Titanium is considered the SUPERMETAL:
✔ lightweight
✔ corrosion-resistant
✔ biocompatible
✔ heat-resistant
✔ chemically inert
It is an extraordinary material with a multitude of chemical, physical and mechanical advantages. It is chemically inert and therefore highly corrosion-resistant – it reacts neither with water nor with acids or other chemicals. This makes it absolutely taste-neutral, does not release any substances into liquids and does not affect odor or taste. Titanium is non-magnetic and biologically very well tolerated, which is why it is also used for medical implants. It is non-toxic, free of allergens such as nickel and therefore ideal for sensitive applications. Mechanically, it impresses with its high strength at very low weight – with a density of only about 4.5 g/cm³, it is around 45% lighter than steel. At the same time, it is dimensionally stable, heat-resistant (melting point: 1,668 °C) and has a particularly smooth surface with an anti-stick effect, which prevents dirt from adhering. Titanium is extremely durable, shows hardly any material fatigue and is easily recyclable through targeted separation of the components.
That's why it is also used for medical implants, where maximum purity and compatibility are required.
But: Titanium is not naturally elastic, but every metal is also flexible when it is thin enough. This is exactly where KEEGO comes in with its innovation. In order to create a squeezable, sports-suitable bottle, a unique composite material was developed:
The inner layer is made of 100% pure titanium.
Multiple outer layers ensure the necessary flexibility.
These are processed via a complex, multi-stage process permanently connected with each other, so that the titanium even when squeezed is not damaged and always returns to its original shape – for years!
The result: A flexible, durable bottle with an inner layer of pure titanium – unique worldwide.
Why is KEEGO cleaner than conventional plastic bottles?
Plastic bottles are made of elastic plastics that constantly release substances and chemicals into the liquid to a certain extent – including microplastics, plasticizers or other chemical compounds, which have been proven to be harmful to health. This is often reflected in the taste: anyone who has ever drunk stale water from an old plastic bottle knows the unpleasant aftertaste.
KEEGO therefore relies on pure titanium as the inner material. Titanium is chemically extremely stable and does not release any substances into the contents – whether it's water or a sports drink. It remains completely taste-neutral and clean – even under heavy use and high heat.
Plastics have a microscopically rough surface where drink residues easily accumulate. These residues provide the perfect breeding ground for mold and bacteria – especially with drinks containing sugar or fruit. Even after rinsing, an invisible biofilm can remain.
In contrast, titanium has a closed, smooth surface that is dirt-repellent and non-stick. This makes KEEGO bottles faster, more thorough and more hygienic to clean, even without aggressive cleaning agents. This ensures significantly better durability and a permanently clean drinking experience.
Recycling & Sustainability – KEEGO Refresh
KEEGO follows the approach of a closed product cycle: If your bottle is worn out after many years of intensive use, you can return it to KEEGO or drop it off at events and trade fairs.
How recycling works:
- Titanium and plastic are separated by their different melting points (titanium: 1,668 °C).
- Old bottles are turned into new KEEGOs - resource-saving and efficient.
As a thank you for your return, you will receive 20% discount on your new KEEGO bottle. You can find more information under the KEEGO Refresh program.
