Crystalline Water - Ditch Bottled Water
and Save the Environment

Replacing bottled water with Crystalline Water point of use units significantly reduces negative impact on the environment. Crystalline Water point of use units present an environmentally sound, economic and sustainable solution to bottled water. Crystalline Water products promote a positive effect on the environment by:

  • Reducing fuel consumption resulting in CO2 emissions and traffic congestion caused by delivery trucks on the road moving bottles.
  • Eliminating wasted plastics from bottles, which can only be reused 4-5 times.
  • Eliminating detergent use for bottle cleaning.
  • Crystalline Water point of user water dispensers reduce energy consumption considerably as compared to regular bottled water coolers.

Plastic Recycling Facts

  • In 2006, Americans drank about 167 bottles of water each, but only recycled an average of 23 percent. That leaves 38 billion water bottles in landfills.
  • Bottled water costs between $1 and $4 per gallon and 90 percent of the cost is in the bottle, lid and label.
  • According to the Beverage Marketing Corp, the average American consumed 1.6 gallons of bottled water in 1976. In 2006 that number jumped to 28.3 gallons.
  • It takes over 1.5 million barrels of oil to manufacture a year’s supply of bottled water. That’s enough oil to fuel 100,000 cars.
  • Eight out of 10 plastic water bottles become landfill waste.
  • In 2007 we spent $16 billion on bottled water. That’s more than we spent on iPods or movie tickets.
  • Plastic bottles take 700 years before they begin to decompose in a landfill.
  • If everyone in NYC gave up water bottles for one week they would save 24 million bottles from being landfilled; one month would save 112 million bottles and one year would save 1.328 billion bottles from going into the landfill.

ABC News crunched the numbers -- taking into account mileage and fuel requirements -- and found that even before you drink that one-liter (or a 33.8 ounce) bottle of French water in Chicago, you've already consumed roughly 2 ounces of oil. And that doesn't include the oil used to make the plastic. In addition, the entire process -- bottling, packaging and shipping -- creates pollution and greenhouse gases. "It's ironic that on some of the labels of the bottles, you see snow-capped mountains and glaciers when in fact the production of the bottle is contributing to global warming, which is melting those snowcaps and those glaciers," said Allen Hershkowitz of the Natural Resources Defense Council.
