Brita

Brita is a plastic system, full stop: the pitchers and dispensers are polypropylene and SAN, and even filtered water sits in a plastic reservoir before you drink it. The environmental pitch is about cutting single-use bottles, not about getting plastic out of your water, and only the Elite filter carries microplastics certification at all. We list Brita as context, not as a plastic-free option — there's no plastic-free way to own one.
