THE DANGERS OF PLASTIC BOTTLES

Plastic bottles are destroying the environment. 

  • In America, more than 17 million barrels of oil are used each year in the making of plastic bottles.

  • About 80% of plastic water bottles used by Americans end up in landfills. 

  • More than 100 million plastic water bottles are thrown away every day.

  • It takes up to 1000 years for a single plastic bottle to biodegrade.

  • The energy used each year to produce plastic bottles could power 190,000 homes. 

Chemicals in plastic bottles can severely damage the body.

  •  Scientific studies have linked BPA (bisphenol-A), a chemical used to make plastic bottles, to the following health problems: cancer, cardiovascular system damage, chromosomal abnormalities, impaired neurological function, adult-onset diabetes, obesity, infertility, and impaired brain function.

​

  • BPA disrupts hormone function and the endocrine system causing developmental and reproductive problems.

​

  • PET (polyethylene) plastic bottles leech antimony and phthalates into the water, potentially causing cancer and reproductive issues.
