Reasons to Switch to Using Eco Friendly Water Bottles

Posted on February 1, 2022 by The Times USA News

 Plastic is incredibly convenient and versatile in its usage. Therefore, you find plastic applications almost everywhere around you. And just like that, plastic wastes are filling up on the planet at a phenomenal rate.

Talking about plastic bottles, did you know that it takes around 450 years for a bottle to completely decompose? So, what about the daily usage in the US? Well, in every minute, 1 million plastic bottles are purchased. And that’s just the stats for the US alone.

The war is on to fight against the overwhelming use of plastic water bottles. By buying an eco friendly water bottle, you can do your bit in saving the planet. This article will take you through the adverse effects of plastic bottles and how eco-friendly bottles are making a difference.

 

The Hazardous Impact of Using Plastic Water Bottles

  • The Container Recycling Institute reports that 100.7 billion plastic bottles were sold in 2014 in the US alone.
  • Did you know that the preparation of a single plastic bottle requires around six times the water the bottle can hold?
  • About 91% of plastic water bottles today are left unrecycled.
  • Plastic bottle consumption has hit half a trillion every year by the end of 2021.
  • More than 1,500 such bottles are thrown away every second.

Around 8 million tons of plastic end up in the world’s ocean every year. Environmentalists suggest that by 2050, there will be more plastic waste in oceans than fish. Such a level of consumption and unchecked disposal, if continued, will outsmart all recycling efforts.

Benefits of using Eco-Friendly Water Bottles

There’s no drawback in taking any possible measure to help save the planet. If eco-friendly or reusable water bottles contribute to it, it is perhaps the best idea to consider opting for it. Down below are some of the benefits of using eco-friendly bottles.

1.    Helps You Save Money on Water

Around the world, you see an increase in the cost of packaged plastic water bottles. Ever wondered what the biggest reason behind it is? It’s simple. You are actually paying for the plastic. Yes, you heard that right.

Here’s how:

  • 90% of the cost of a plastic water bottle is from the production of the bottle itself.
  • Drinking eight glasses of water daily might cost you around $1800 a year if you consider buying packaged drinking water.
  • Therefore, buying packaged drinking water is 3 times more expensive than tap water.

Keep all these aside and buy reusable water bottles of stainless steel, glass, or other materials. Even filtered and purified water in these bottles will cost less than packaged ones.

2.    Helps Contribute Towards Environment Conservation

Did you know that around 38 billion plastic water bottles end up in US landfills every year? Surprisingly, that’s roughly more than 2 million tons! When they reach the water bodies, such wastes kill around 1.1 million marine creatures every year.

Besides that, if you talk about the production process, that’s even worse. Wondering why?

Plastic water bottles are made of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) plastic. To make a single water bottle, it takes 1/4th of a bottle of oil. Therefore, annually it takes around 17 million barrels of oil. By using reusable water bottles, you can contribute your part in saving the planet. After all, not every planet comes with natural resources and diversity like earth.

 

Wrapping Up

Using an eco friendly water bottle is not any less convenient than plastic bottles. Because you can save money by not buying plastic bottles in the name of purchasing drinking water. Moreover, you can save this world, its resources, the environment, and the species from dying by reducing the amount of plastic waste generated every year.
