WHY 18/8 FOOD-GRADE STAINLESS STEEL'S THE REAL DEAL
Not all stainless steel is created equal. When it comes to drinkware, 18/8 Food-Grade Stainless Steel is top-notch, and that’s exactly why we use it to make every Yabby. Tough, safe, and built to last - here’s why it’s a ripper.
FOOD-SAFE & NON-TOXIC
You drink from your Yabby every day (and if you don’t, what are you doing?), so what it’s made from really matters. 18/8 Food-Grade Stainless Steel gets its name from its makeup - 18% chromium and 8% nickel - both completely food-safe and non-reactive.
In simple terms, it means your Yabby won’t leak any nasty chemicals or funky metallic tastes into your drink. It’s the same gear used in hospitals and commercial kitchens because it’s proven to be safe and hygienic.

RUST & CORROSION RESISTANT
There’s nothing worse than finding rust on your bottle, especially when you've forked out for a good one. We know Aussie conditions can be brutal - salty air, dust, heat, you name it. That's why every Yabby's made from 18/8 Food-Grade Stainless Steel, famous for its top-tier resistance to rust and corrosion.
The chromium in the mix forms a natural shield that keeps your bottle looking (and performing) like new, year after year. Whether you’re on site, at the beach, behind your desk, or at the gym, your Yabby’s built to handle whatever gets thrown at it. How good’s that?

BUILT TO LAST
Unlike cheap plastic bottles or flimsy metal knock-offs, our 18/8 Food-Grade Stainless Steel bottles can cop a fair bit of rough and tumble. It’s strong, durable, and won’t cave under pressure (though maybe don’t throw it off a roof - big dents can pierce the insulation).
That kind of strength means your Yabby’s not just another throwaway. It's built to go the distance, with less waste, better value, and a mate that sticks around for years. Beats buying another bottle every few months, hey?

EASY TO CLEAN & ODOUR-FREE
Ever had a plastic bottle start smelling a bit... off? Yeah, nah, not with Yabby. The smooth, non-porous surface of 18/8 Food-Grade Stainless Steel means bacteria, mould, and odours can’t make themselves at home.
It’s easy to clean (just chuck it on the top rack of your dishwasher), won’t hang onto old flavours, and stays fresh no matter what you fill it with. Water, coffee, smoothies, or a cold one after knock-off - give it a rinse, and you’re good to go.
