Plastic water bottles are made with the substance of low density polyethylene. The amount contained on average of a single use water bottle is a little over 5 grams.
WikiAnswers does not make plastic bottles. Waste is an interesting term. The manufacture of water bottles is as efficient as the system can be. There is very little waste in the process as there is very little profit. To make this a busoness model that works requires almost zero waste.
It depends on how much you get for each bottle.
i don't know that's why iim askin you! love, tanesha
The water bottles in landfills take up a great deal of space. It is estimated that about 20 percent of a landfill can be made up of plastic from water bottles.
Provided the water is clean there is absolutely no reason why people should not drink it. IT is MUCH better to drink tap water than water sold to you in plastic bottles. The production of the bottles is killing the planer.
$1 billon worth of plastic
500,000,000,000
there is not much carbon in it
plastic is cheaper than some other materials and it keeps the fluid in it fresh
Apparantely plastic keeps ice water colder because since aluminum water bottles absorbs the cold and the plastic doesnt so pretty much it keeps colder :)
Aluminum is not known to cause cancer. However, aluminum can dissolve into water, and too much aluminum is not a good thing for a variety of reasons. That is why most water bottles are made of stainless steel. However, it's better then platic, and platic is made from oil, and because of this, it cost way to much to make plastic, the metal bottles are better! :) Not just for the economy and environment but are better for your health! :)
