POU: The Facts.

The Facts Replacing bottled water with Waterlogic POU significantly reduces negative impact on the environment. By replacing bottled water with POU, organizations can promote a positive effect on the environment: Reducing fuel consumption resulting in CO2 emissions and traffic congestion caused by delivery trucks on the road moving bottles Eliminating wasted plastics from bottles, which can only be re-used 4-5 times Eliminating detergent use for bottle cleaning

The Facts Bottled water facts... The World Wildlife Foundation estimates that 1.5 million tons of plastic are used globally each year for water bottles1 According to the Earth Policy Institute 1.5 million barrels of oil are required to make plastic bottles per year, enough to fuel 1,000 cars for a year2 According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), bottled waters do not have any greater nutritive value than tap water Delivering bottled water from far away places burn fossil fuels and results in the release of thousands of tons of harmful emissions; 22 million tons of bottled liquid is transferred each year from their country of origin3, transported by boat, train, air and ground transport Bottled water that is shipped and/or stored cold requires additional electricity 1 Ferrier, Catherine. “Bottled Water: Understanding a Cultural Phenomenon,” World Wildlife Fund. 2 Germacimos, Ann. “Land Full of Bottles,” The Washington Times, 24 May 2007. 3 Howard, Brian. “Message in a Bottle: Despite the Hype, Bottled Water is Neither Cleaner Nor Greener than Tap Water,” E: The Environmental Magazine, September – October 2003

The Facts Bottled water facts... Large amounts of energy are used in water bottling plants throughout the US and the world4 Energy is required to remove the empty bottles in the form of recycling or trash Bottled water may be no safer, or healthier than tap water in many countries while selling for up to 1000 times the price5 Typically 90 % or more of the cost paid by bottled water consumers goes to things other than the water itself -- bottling, packaging, shipping, marketing, retailing, other expenses, and profit6 According to the Climate Action Network, when some plastic bottles are incinerated along with other trash, as is the practice in many municipalities, toxic chlorine (and potentially dioxin) is released into the air while heavy metals deposit in the ash7 4 “Bottled Water: A River of Money,” by Fast Company at http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Investing/Extra/BottledWaterARiverOfMoney.aspx?page=1 5 Ferrier, Catherine. “Bottled Water: Understanding a Cultural Phenomenon,” World Wildlife Fund. 6 Ferrier, Catherine. “Bottled Water: Understanding a Cultural Phenomenon,” World Wildlife Fund. 7 Howard, Brian. “Message in a Bottle: Despite the Hype, Bottled Water is Neither Cleaner Nor Greener than Tap Water,” E: The Environmental Magazine, September – October 2003.

The Facts There are many environmental costs that society must pay, such as loss of groundwater, toxic emissions from plastic production and destruction, air pollution from transporting the products, and the disposal of loads of empty bottles The Container Recycling Institute (CRI) estimates that supplying the US bottled water market for 1 year consumes more than 1.5 million barrels of oil, which is enough to generate electricity for more than 250,000 homes or enough to fuel 100,000 cars for an entire year8 The CRI estimates that 90% of plastic water bottles end up as either garbage or litter9 8 Howard, Brian. “Message in a Bottle: Despite the Hype, Bottled Water is Neither Cleaner Nor Greener than Tap Water,” E: The Environmental Magazine, September – October 2003. 9 CNN’s All About Plastic featured on Container Recycling Institute website at http://www.container-recycling.org/mediafold/newsarticles/plastic/2007/9-12-CNN-AllAboutPlastic.htm

The Facts There are many environmental costs that society must pay, such as loss of groundwater, toxic emissions from plastic production and destruction, air pollution from transporting the products, and the disposal of loads of empty bottles Plastic accounts for 25% of the total volume of material sent to landfills every year and plastic water bottles can take as long as 1,000 years to biodegrade10. Plastics are the fastest growing sector in the waste stream and currently take up 25 percent of the volume of materials sent to landfills each year11 Tap water is distributed through an energy-efficient infrastructure12 Approximately 40 percent of bottled water begins as tap water13 Less than 5 percent of plastic waste is recycled each year14 10 Arnold, Emily and Janet Larsen. “Bottled Water: Pouring Resources Down the Drain,” Earth Policy Institute, 2 February 2006. 11 “Bottled Up and Tapped Out,” Food & Water Watch at http://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/water/bottled/bottledUp-tappedOut. 12 Arnold, Emily and Janet Larsen. “Bottled Water: Pouring Resources Down the Drain,” Earth Policy Institute, 2 February 2006. 13 Arnold, Emily and Janet Larsen. “Bottled Water: Pouring Resources Down the Drain,” Earth Policy Institute, 2 February 2006. 14 Bottled Up and Tapped Out,” Food & Water Watch at http://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/water/bottled/bottledUp-tappedOut
