Do you wondered why environmentalists disapprove of plastic bottle manufacturing and its use? Below are 10 reasons why plastic bottles should not be used.
- Plastic bottle manufacturing is not sustainable, because it requires too much water and oil to produce
- Waste of oil in the transport of these bottles
- Plastic bottle production cost is 3 times more expensive than in oil refining
- Plastic bottles contain toxins
- Toxins leached from these bottles are carcinogenic
- Each bottle can only be recycled once
- Plastic bottling is less regulated than tap water
- Encourages privatization
- Bad for landfills
- Bad for our marine life
As you can see, the use of plastic bottles is an environmental, financial and health risk. Not to mention that it requires more water to produce these plastic bottles. With the water shortage we are experiencing, the water used in the bottling process can be used to water vegetables and fruits to sustain life.
So we need to investigate other sustainable processes in providing healthy, clean, filtered drinking water for the masses. Think conservation of resources. Think green. Think drinking water fountain retrofitting! Contact Urban Well at (714) 552-7500 for more information.
