CamelBak, the “bottle and reservoir” manufacturer contracted by the Department of Defense (DoD), markets products that keep soldiers, athletes and children hydrated with a concept that originally began using “an IV bag with water [and] a white tube sock”.

According to their website, CamelBak’s plastic bottles are now “Bisphenol-A (BPA) free” including “eddy bottles, Kids’ bottles, and Groove™ bottles” because of a “copolyester polymer called Tritan®” manufactured by Eastman Chemical Company (ECC) and used by CamelBak in their products.

The US Armed Forces have contracted CamelBak to provide their soldiers with technology to carry “3 liter hydration systems” like the CamelBak CBR X which is used in combat situations because of the reservoir tip that allows the solider to drink clean water – even while wearing a gas mask during a chemical agent attack.

Tritan, the chemical substitute for BPA used in BPA-free products such as those sold by CamelBak, are assumed safe; however Tritan has a wide range of adverse effects such as:

• Severe dizziness
• Drowsiness
• Excitability
• Headaches
• Anxiety
• Vomiting
• Nervousness
• Sleep disorders
• Urinary dysfunction
• Heart palpitations
• Hallucinations
• Seizures
• Tremors
• Macular disorders

In a peer reviewed study from 2013, Tritan was shown to contain chemical compositions of BPA and was proven to migrate from the plastic to the liquid contained in bottles tested.

The authors of the study maintain that Tritan functions as an endocrine disruptor because of the presence of BBP and BPA.

Known adverse effects of Tritan have striking similarities to clinical definitions of Gulf War Syndrome (GWS) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). At this time, further research is needed to confirm a direct link between Tritan and PTSD or GWS.

Earlier this year, George Bittner, founder of CertiChem and professor of neurobiology for the University of Texas at Austin (UTA) published a study that showed “almost all” plastic sold commercially leach out endocrine disruptors; including products claiming to be BPA-free and use chemical substitutes such as Tritan, Bisphenol 5 (BPS) and others.

In response to the study published by Bittner, the American Chemistry Council (ACC) collaborated with ECC, manufacturer of Tritan (the chemical substitute to BPA used by CamelBak), to publically discredit Bittner’s research, including launching a lawsuit against CertiChem to conceal Bittner’s scientific findings that Tritan is an endocrine disruptor from receiving public attention.

And all for the sake of retaining $375 billion in annual overall industry profits.

One example of this disinformation campaign is a video produced by ECC, fronted by Lucian Boldea, vice president and general manager of specialty plastics for ECC, who claimed: “We want consumers to know the facts behind our clear, tough material called Eastman Tritan™ copolyester. Eastman has used numerous reputable, independent third-party laboratories that use well-recognized scientific methods to demonstrate Tritan is free of estrogenic activity.”

This video asserts the alleged safety of Tritan, while disregarding the known adverse effects of the chemical in favor of making their “consumers … feel confident that [Tritan] used in their products is free of estrogenic activity.”

Recently, the International Society of Endocrinology and the Endocrine Society (ICE/ENDO) revealed that bisphenol 5 (BPS), a chemical found in “BPA free” products can alter brain development and cause what is classified as hyperactivity behaviors.

Research into the adverse effects of Tritan and BPS demonstrates a clear discrepancy between the transparency of corporations with regard to the proven dangers of their products and the “safety” of commercially produced products assumed by the general public.

Deborah Kurrasch, professor at the University of Calgary in Canada and lead author of the study said in a press statement: “BPS, termed the safe alternative to BPA, may be equally as harmful to developing brains. Society must place increased pressure on decision makers to remove all bisphenol compounds from manufacturing processes. BPA-free does not mean bisphenol-free. I’m not sure that’s recognized in society.”

ECC publishes material safety data sheets (MSDS) on the 23 separate chemical compounds sold under the name Tritan which are individually used for specified applications. These MSDS offer no data on toxicity and do not explain the environmental effects of those 23 Tritan compounds.

In 2010, ECC published test results regarding the chemical composition of Tritan, claiming it is devoid of endocrine disruptors without providing data on toxicity or adverse environmental effects.

Without the data on toxicity and adverse environmental effects, EEC cannot assuredly state that Tritan and the 23 compounds that make up the chemical are safe for human or animal to consume – even in low dosages.

And the fact that defense contractors such as CamelBak use Tritan as a “safe alternative” to BPA is a smoke-screen approach to coerce the public into believing that they are purchasing products that will not harm them physiologically or neurologically.

CamelBak’s use of Tritan, regardless of its known adverse effects in products used by soldiers during combat, has become a lucrative business venture with the DoD.

Nine years ago, CamelBak was awarded an $11.2 million contract for the DoD through the Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) for hydration systems made with Tritan.

In 2009, CamelBak received a $5.9 million contract with the US Marine Corp.

Two years ago, CamelBak reported sales of $121.1 million; which was $6.4 million more over 2011.

In March of this year, CamelBak released its latest product, the Relay filtration pitcher (RFP) to rival Brita water filter systems in retail markets.

The RFP is made with Tritan, allowing CamelBak to capitalize on BPA-free conscious consumers without having to disclose the physiological and neurological dangers of Tritan to their customers nationwide.
