6 reasons to abandon bottled water right now Bashny.Net

Around the globe have invented hundreds of ways to recycle used plastic bottles. But, nevertheless, the best is to abandon the use of such containers at all. Tell why it is important


The bottle can poison the water, According to numerous studies, some types of plastics can release into food and beverages hazardous to health substances. These substances – additives to polymers that are intended to strengthen the plastic product. In order to reduce unnecessary contact with your body elements is not necessary to repeatedly use a cheap bottle from under the water. Choose a reusable water bottle or buy water in glass.


Long term decomposition in the soilNature can't cope with plastic bottle. According to different studies, from 100 to 500 years it takes for the environment to decompose the material. The process of decomposition, lasting for centuries, are accompanied by the release of harmful substances. The reason is, actually, plastic – synthetic, alien to the nature of the material.


Imperfect system of recyclingin Europe and the United States, the situation with recycling is improving every year, in Russia a bottle in droves until disposed of. If you do not pass plastic bottles in points of reception vtorsyrja and throw in the trash, then with high probability they will either buried in landfill or burned in a furnace of a waste incineration plant.


Water pollutionEvery year, 260 million tons of plastic products finishes his age in the World ocean. All that plastic trash must be disposed of in oceans, rivers, streams and sea waves from the land. Under the action of light it disintegrates into small particles while maintaining the polymer structure.According to the UN, every square kilometer of ocean littered about 120 000 floating plastic particles of different sizes. Plastic containers forms a "garbage island".Such a quantity of this material causes the death of many birds, turtles, fish, marine mammals and other living organisms. Presumably plastic kills 1.5 million marine animals each year, to the detriment of 13 billion dollars annually.


Plastic is not very well protects your drinkSignificant disadvantages of plastic bottles of PET is its relatively low barrier properties. It flows into the bottle ultraviolet rays and oxygen and out carbon dioxide, which degrades the quality and reduces the shelf life of the drink. All because the macromolecular structure of the material is not a barrier to gases having a small size relative to the molecule chain of the polymer.


The production of plastic bottles pollutingthe Pacific Institute of the USA has counted, how much oil goes into the production of all plastic bottles in the country. The calculations showed that only in 2006 for the production of bottles it took more than 900 000 tonnes of plastics, which took 17.6 million barrels of oil. So much fuel enough to half a million American cars went for years.
