FloWater: Americans Can Do Better Than Bottled Water

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, February 14, 2024

DENVER, Feb. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bottled water is an American problem. Americans drink more bottled water than any other packaged beverage and more bottled water than any other country in the world except for China. As we now know, thanks to new research, this reliance on plastic has measurable consequences for our health and the environment. A liter of bottled water contains almost a quarter of a million invisible pieces of nanoplastics. There's plastic in tap water, in the ocean, in the air, even in remote areas of the world such as Mount Everest's peak. There's plastic in our blood, our gut, our brain—even in umbilical cords. Every single week, the average American eats and drinks enough plastic to equal the weight of a credit card.

Key Points: 
  • Americans drink more bottled water than any other packaged beverage and more bottled water than any other country in the world except for China.
  • A liter of bottled water contains almost a quarter of a million invisible pieces of nanoplastics.
  • And since almost all bottled water is just filtered municipal tap water housed in plastic, we're back where we started.
  • As CEO, he has pioneered the creation of innovative FloWater Refill Stations that transform ordinary tap water into ultra-purified, premium drinking water.
