Water

18/10/2019

 
Most of the bottled water you buy is just glorified tap water. There are a few brands whose water really comes from springs and mountain streams, but most are just tap water that’s been purified.
  • Only 1 out of 5 plastic bottles is recycled. The rest just becomes litter or get buried somewhere.
  • It takes 1 PET plastic bottle 700 years to start decomposing. Bacteria, which usually helps in breaking down organic materials, don’t like petroleum based plastics. Technically, they can last forever.
  • More than 100 million plastic bottles are used worldwide every day!
  • 90% of the cost of bottled water is due to the packaging, not the water quality.
  • 3 liters of water is used to package 1 bottle of water.
  • •An estimate 1,500 plastic bottles end up as waste in landfills or thrown in the ocean every second.
  • Plastic is listed as the number one threat to our marine ecosystem.
