The authors of the WWF report suggested that water bottles be washed and reused in order to lessen their negative impact on the environment. Bottled water companies, due to their unregulated use of valuable resources and their production of billions of plastic bottles have presented a significant strain on the environment. The number of plastic bottles produced by the bottled water industry and subsequently discarded by consumers has only exacerbated this problem.Īccording to a 2001 report of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), roughly 1.5 million tons of plastic are expended in the bottling of 89 billion liters of water each year.īesides the sheer number of plastic bottles produced each year, the energy required to manufacture and transport these bottles to market severely drains limited fossil fuels.
It is hard to argue the fact that waste management has become a large problem in the world, with landfills growing to enormous sizes and recycling rates remaining dismally low.
