Environmental Impacts of ReUsing Plastic Bottles:
Because plastic water bottles are really made to be used once as drinking containers, millions and millions of plastic bottles are discarded every year into overflowing landfills. As a result, many of these plastic bottles end up in our oceans, streams, and parks: creating a hazard for wildlife and our precious environment. However, they CAN be reused!
The reuse of plastic bottles has wide-reaching benefits on the environment:
- Every day, consumers discard more than 60 million plastic water bottles. These bottles litter highways, clog waterways, or end up in incinerators and landfills. Plastic in landfills can take up to 700 years to decompose.
- Meeting consumer demand for water bottles in the United States requires more than 15 million barrels of oil each year for manufacturing, transport, and disposal. That is enough oil to fuel approximately 100,000 cars for an entire year.
- Plastic bottles are one of the least recycled materials in the United States. The Recycling Institute states that only about one in six plastic bottles sold in the United States was recycled in 2004, or about 17% of all plastic water bottles bought by consumers.
- In 2006, Americans drank about 167 bottles of water each, but only recycled an average of 23 percent. That leaves 38 billion water bottles in landfills.
- Reusing plastic water bottles means less need to manufacture new bottles from virgin petroleum resin, and less trash that ends up in landfills, streams, oceans, and parks. Reusing plastic bottles can significantly reduce pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and energy usage.
