Bottle Water
Bottled water is healthy water- or so marketers would have us believe. Just look at the bottled water labels or ads: deep, pristine pools of spring water; majestic alpine peaks. In reality, bottled water is just water.
However, that fact isn't stopping people from buying a los of it.
The Largest consumer markets for bottled water:
1.- United States
2. Mexico
3. China
4. Brazil
In the U.S., Bottled water costs between $0.25 and $2 per bottle while tap water costs less than $0.01
PET water bottles account 50% of all the PET bottles and containers collected by crubside recycling.
The recycling rate for water bottles is 23.4%, an increase over the 2006 rate of 20.1% . Bottled water products up to 1.5 millions tons of plastic waste each year. That plastic requieres up to 47 million gallons of oil per year to produce.
