How big is the plastic pollution problem? The amount of plastic waste dumped into our oceans each year is estimated to exceed 14 million tons, with 12% being plastic bottles. That’s not hard to believe, considering billions of plastic bottles and containers are produced each year for water alone, and less than 30% of those containers will ever be recycled. The hard part to believe—or live with—is that single-use containers for beverages are largely unnecessary in the U.S.
Unbottling the beverage industry
- By enabling people to purify the water available to them on tap and easily add flavors and enhancements, we can eliminate the pollution and human health risks associated with single-use plastic containers and microplastics.
- The problem is that the process of modifying and flavoring tap water is burdensome and expensive, especially when compared to the convenience of grabbing a single-use bottle.
- That’s where Bevi comes in; our Smart Water Coolers® have already collectively saved over 500 million bottles and cans – and our customers are on-pace to save one billion single-use containers by 2025.
