Michael and Shelley Ritterbrown's decision to launch Green to Grow with a line of bisphenol A-free plastic baby bottles grew from their alarm as they read reports that highlighted the potential dangers presented by polycarbonate plastic, which contains the hormone disruptor bisphenol A - a neurological, developmental, and reproductive toxicant. They believed concerned parents like them would welcome safer alternatives, even if they cost more due to the higher price of the raw materials used. And to ensure the highest level of quality and safety, they decided to have their bottles periodically spot tested for bisphenol A, phthalates, and lead at an environmental laboratory in Chicago, Illinois. |

Committed to serving as stewards of health and wellbeing for babies and children, they consider the environmental impact of every decision they make. They use 100% recycled paper and soy inks in all of their packaging and printed corporate materials and have partnered with 1% for the Planet, pledging to donate 1% of their annual sales to environmental causes.
They have also founded the Bottles to Babies Initiative, using their website as a vehicle to connect families with local non-profit organizations and womens shelters that accept used baby bottle donations. Green to Grow has plans to partner with these organizations and to donate new nipples to be used with donated bottles. |
