How Bottled Water Impacts the Environment — And How Waterboy Can Help
Choosing bottled water often feels like the safest decision for your family. After all, you want clean, healthy water without the risks of chlorine and other toxins sometimes found in tap water. But have you ever considered what happens to all those empty plastic bottles once they’re thrown away?
At Superior Water, we are deeply committed not just to the quality of water your family drinks, but also to protecting the environment for future generations. Here’s how bottled water affects our planet—and how switching to the Waterboy Whole House Water Filtration System can make a difference.
The Environmental Cost of Water Bottle Production
The impact of bottled water starts long before the bottles hit store shelves:
- Bottles are made from petroleum products, consuming large amounts of fossil fuels.
- Producing one bottle of water requires three times as much water as the bottle holds.
- The bottled water industry consumes 17 million barrels of oil each year.
- It takes 2,000 times more energy to produce bottled water than tap water.
Staggering Water Bottle Usage
Americans use an overwhelming number of water bottles each year:
- Each person consumes nearly 30 gallons of bottled water annually.
- Over 60 million water bottles are discarded daily.
- Only about 12% of water bottles are recycled.
- Bottled water consumption rises by 10% each year.
Long-Term Environmental Impact
The effects of discarded water bottles are devastating:
- Plastics make up 90% of ocean pollution.
- 80% of water bottles end up in landfills.
- A single bottle can take up to 1,000 years to decompose.
- As plastic breaks down, it releases harmful toxins into soil and groundwater.
