Use a reusable water bottle instead of plastic bottles.
This description encourages people to make a positive environmental impact by using a reusable water bottle instead of single-use plastic bottles. Reusable water bottles are a great way to reduce plastic waste and help protect the environment. Not only are they better for the environment, but they are also more cost-
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is one of the most common polymers in its polyester family. Its global market size was estimated to be worth US$37.25 billion in 2021. Polyethylene terephthalate is used in several applications such as; textile fibres, bottles, rigid/flexible packaging, and electronics. However, it accounts for 12% in global solid waste. This is why bottle recycling is highly encouraged and has reached its highest level in decades. In 2023, the US collected 1,962 million pounds of bottles for recycling. Compared to glass bottles, the PET bottle is lightweight and has a lower carbon footprint in production and transportation. Recycling further reduces emissions. The recycled material can be put back into bottles, fibres, film, thermoformed packaging and strapping.
