Yes, they definitely are. They use up space in landfill sites and animals often get trapped in them. However, some countries- such as Germany- make you pay a deposit when buying drinks which you can recover if you give the plastic bottle back to be recycled safely.

Is bottled water from plastic bottles worse than those in bottled in glass?

Water in plastic bottles is not necessarily bad, however, recent studies suggest that reusing them over and over can be harmful as they begin to degrade into the water you are drinking. Whenever you buy bottled water be sure to check where it's from. A general rule of thumb is that the water should be bottled north of your location as it will be cleaner than water bottled south of you (as most rivers generally travel north to south). There is a concern about consuming any product -- food or drink -- that has been stored for any length of time in a plastic container that has BPA or Bisphenol A. There are two camps: one that claims BPA is deadly and the other that says such claims are nonsense. To this end, many bottled products, plastic food storage containers, baby bottles and pacifiers, etc. are not being labeled as containing NO BPAs. Glass does not contain BPA, hence the big push for consumer to invest in glass water bottles coated in silicone. Read for yourself: http://www.factsaboutbpa.org


Is it true that Strauss water T6 is better then water bottles?

yes it is, it purifies the water straight from your mains, and leaves all the good minerals in the water and reduces chlorine and other contaminants, it also uses a UV light to ensure bacteria free drinking water. using a filter system that purifies the tap water is better than using bottled water since there are no leftovers (plastic bottles are bad for the environment - regardless of whether the t-6 is better or not)
