We are now generating a million bottles per minute, of which 91% will never be recycled. It is estimated that by 2050, there will be more plastic in the oceans than fish! With the boom in the travel industry, and with it the rise of pet water bottles, has contributed vastly to this depressing number.
The travel industry boom has led to an ever increasing waste burden on popular destinations. The worst hit are the developing nations, that offer idyllic destinations at a cheap cost. However, tap water in these countries is not considered safe by the ever growing travelling population. Enter bottled water!
