The Real Cost of Bottled Water

According to a 2001 report of the Worldwide Fund for Nature WWF,  roughly 1.5 million tons of plastic are expended in the bottling of 89 billion litres of water each year. Those figures will have risen considerably by now, as the water bottled water industry is one of the fastest growing industries on earth.

Besides 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. 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 authors of the WWF report suggested that water bottles be washed and reused in order to lessen their negative impact on the environment. Unfortunately, reusing plastic bottles further compromises the quality of the water, due to the fact that more and more phthalate leaches its way into the water as the bottle gets older.

The solution: Reusable bottles such as the NALGENE EVERYDAY range of BPA-free bottles, in conjunction with a water filter where necessary.

By simply purchasing a Nalgene bottle, and refilling it - you will be doing a great deal to help the environment.
