Bluewater says the numerous studies investigating the health impact of single-use plastic bottles underscore the urgent need for consumers to take their safety into their own hands and ditch plastic bottles for alternatives such as sustainable stainless-steel bottles or glass bottles protected in a shatter-proofing silicon sleeve.
Bluewater, the global Swedish water purification and beverage solutions provider for homes, HORECA, and public dispensing, has helped clean 85,000 kilograms (187,389.7 pounds) of plastic waste in the past three years from coastal areas – that’s the equivalent of approximately 7.1 million PET bottles.
A 2019 report commissioned by Bluewater saw one of the world’s leading specialists on hormones describe micro plastic pollution as ‘the number one threat to humankind’ due to the way it affects blood pressure, fertility, immune systems and sparked multiple diseases including cancer.
