HEVEA Plastic-Free Glass Baby Bottle
Borosilicate glass with a 100% natural rubber nipple - the zero-silicone dream, undercut by a polypropylene screw ring and cap.
The verdict: Minimal plastic contact
The standout part is the nipple: 100% natural rubber, so the soft milk-contact piece has zero silicone AND zero plastic - rare and exactly what zero-silicone parents want. But HEVEA states the leak-resistant screw thread (collar) and dust cap are polypropylene, and that screw ring seats in the milk path. So the drink does touch a bit of plastic. If the ring were steel or rubber this would be a plastic-free standout; as sold it's minimal-contact with an excellent nipple.

A borosilicate glass baby bottle from the natural-rubber pacifier brand HEVEA, fitted with a one-piece 100% natural rubber nipple that has the anti-colic valve built in (no separate vent parts). Sold in standard-neck (4oz, 8oz) and wide-neck (5oz, 8.5oz, some with a silicone sleeve) versions. The natural rubber nipple is the reason to buy it.
