Aladdin Recycled and Recyclable Travel Mug
Budget plastic travel mug
- Eco-friendly
- Interior plastic is BPA-free
- Dishwasher- and microwave-safe
- Fits in standard car cup holders
- Poor insulation
- Not leak- or spill-proof
Reviewers prefer stainless-steel travel mugs to plastic ones because they do a better job of insulating liquids, but the Aladdin Recycled and Recyclable Travel Mug earns a number of recommendations. This mug, which holds 16 ounces, is made from recycled water bottles, and the whole mug can be recycled when it reaches the end of its life. The interior of the bottle is made from BPA-free polypropylene. It fits in standard car cup holders and is available either with or without a handle. Reviewers like that the Aladdin travel mug is safe for the dishwasher and microwave, and its eco-friendly credentials are another plus among users. However, like most plastic travel mugs, the Aladdin Recycled and Recyclable Travel Mug won't keep your coffee or tea hot for very long -- most reviewers report that their brew stays hot for about an hour. If you prefer something with better insulation, the top-rated Contigo AutoSeal Stainless Steel Travel Mug (*Est. $20) keeps beverages hot for up to four hours, but it can't be microwaved.
Stainless-steel travel mugs seem to attract the most attention from reviewers, but the Aladdin Recycled and Recyclable Travel Mug is covered by a few sources. Good Housekeeping includes it in a comparative test of 28 travel mugs, and GreenThinkers.org has a detailed single-product review. Owner-written reviews at Amazon.com are also highly valuable, especially for determining where this mug falls short.
