A plastic water bottle takes more than 450 years to dissolve.
Bottling and transporting water is the least energy-efficient method of supplying water in the history of mankind.
Why not use that bottle more than once? Well, many people reuse their disposable plastic water bottles but single-use water bottles are classified as single-use for a reason, there is a high risk of chemicals and microplastics entering the water inside as they start to degrade from repeated use. One study by the World Health Organization found microplastics in more than 90% of samples from 259 bottle brands across the world. In one bottle tested, concentrations were as high as 10,000 plastic pieces per litre of water.
Swedish company Bluewater has the solution, Bluewater believes the best water is sourced and purified in local communities, not bottled in plastic and transported from faraway places.
