Our storyMade in Tested for Kept for
We wanted one bottle that would not end up in a drawer
Kaya started in 2022 after we counted the plastic bottles in one car. We designed a steel one in Johannesburg and found a family-run steel works in Germiston to make it.
Two years before launch
Dropped, frozen, left in hot cars and put through a dishwasher four hundred times.
As long as you want it
Every part can be replaced, and we take old bottles back for recycling.
One bottle
Why we only make one thing
Making a single bottle means we can buy steel in bulk, keep every spare in stock and answer every question ourselves.
Old bottles come back
Send us a bottle you no longer use and we recycle the steel and take R50 off your next one.
A team of five
Design, orders and repairs all happen in one room in Braamfontein.
Bottles for schools
For every hundred bottles sold, we give twenty to a school without clean drinking water points.
