However, many older (pre-2007) sippy cups and bottles contain phthalates and bisphenol-a, both of which have been linked to a host of health concerns including hormone disruption, allergies, reduced immune system functioning and even cancers. Using old bottles for art projects, and non-food item storage containers is a simple way to keep these items out of our waste stream when you transition to healthier options for your child.

However, I can't help but feel guilty about throwing the plastic ones away. Are they recycleable? How does that work? Wouldn't it make more sense for me to use what I already have instead of throwing the plastic away? Any advice on this would be great. Thanks.
