Almost all other insulated jars will end up as landfill because most food jars are made of mixed materials that can not be separated (e.g. plastic glued to stainless steel, cork with stainless). Products that are designed responsbily take a cradle to cradle approach so that the pieces can be disassembled and properly recycled. The Goodbyn 2-in-1 insulated food jar was designed from scratch with this in mind. All of the components can be easily taken apart. Only the cord and silicone seals can not be recycled via the kerbside recycling, but they can be reused.
Soda ash glass, the same as glass food packaging jars, which can be placed in household recycling (unlike boroscilicate glass which can not). 18/8 stainless steel body. Plastic is #5 PP Polypropylene plastic (the same as plastic used in yogurt containers for the central section that the stainless steel and glass containers screw in to.

What is Cradle to Cradle and Cradle to Grave Design
Unfortunately, for the past century, product design has generally take a Cradle to Grave approach, which is a linear model for resources that begins with extracting the resources, manufacturing the resources into products and ends with the product being disposed of in landfill or an incinerator ("the grave").
A Cradle to Cradle model designs products where the components can be continously recovered and re-used, recycled or upcycled. This means designing a product to be dismantled for easier repair, recovery and reuse of the materials.
