Environmental Facts

• Empty water bottles and caps made from PET and PP are a major contributor to the Pacific Gyre- an area of floating waste twice the size of Texas in the Pacific Ocean
• Scientist recently found a fish in the ocean just 60mm long with over 80 tiny pieces of plastic in its stomach
• The manufacture of every ton of PET produces around 3 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2). Bottling water thus created more than 2.5 million tons of CO2 in 2006.
• 17 million barrels of oil were used just to supply plastic water bottles for the USA for one year
• Evian travels 1000 kilometres to the UK by lorry
• World consumption of bottled water reached 115,393 million litres in 2006
• 2009 UK government reports show that one litre of bottled water produces 500 grams of CO2 our purifiers will produce less than 20grams.
