Tritan Shatterproof Drinkware
Tritan™ is the premium copolyester behind Govino's crystal-clear, shatterproof drinkware. Govino glasses are moulded from Tritan™ copolyester from Eastman — the company that developed and trademarked the material used in premium reusable drinkware worldwide.
If you're searching for plastic glasses that look like glass — without the fragility or the cheap picnic-cup feel — here's what makes Tritan different from ordinary plastic.
What is Tritan drinkware?
Tritan from Eastman is a BPA-free copolyester engineered for glass-like clarity and long-term durability. According to Eastman, Tritan is shatter and impact resistant, offers superior chemical resistance, and is certified for food-contact use by the FDA and global safety agencies. Govino moulds every glass from this material — flexible on impact (they bend instead of shatter), lightweight for travel, and dishwasher-safe for everyday reuse.
Tritan vs ordinary plastic cups
- Clarity — Tritan reads as crystal from across the table; no cloudy disposable look.
- Thin, polished lip — designed for wine and spirits, not just utility.
- Reusable — built for hundreds of washes, not single-use events.
- BPA-free & food-safe — no plastic taste in your wine.
- Shatterproof — ideal for pools, boats, braais and family gatherings.
Sustainable sipping
Eastman highlights Tritan as a durable, reusable alternative that keeps single-use plastic out of landfills. Govino glasses are designed to be used again and again — rinse, pack, repeat.
