- Over 70 BILLION single-use plastic water bottles are consumed every year just in the USA and Europe. It is estimated that only of 20% are recycled. That means that over 50 billion bottles end up in landfill or pollute our oceans every year.
- Plastic never disappears. Over time, it breaks down but just into smaller and smaller pieces which get being eaten by animals/fish and end up in the food chain.
- Manufacturing single-use plastics wastes our natural resources. Fill up your bottle with oil to a fifth of its capacity to witness how much oil is used in manufacturing the bottle and shipping it to you!
- For every 1 litre of bottled water in your local supermarket, 3 litres have been used to make and ship it to you.
- A huge number of plastic bottles are discarded and make their way to the ocean via rivers. It is estimated that 1 million sea birds and 100,000 mammals are killed annually from ingesting or becoming trapped in plastic waste.
- Using a Water-to-Go bottle can help reduce plastic waste and preserve natural resources. Turn any water ‘better than bottled’ quality wherever you are!
