Glass Bottled Water
Plastic Bottle use : What is the environmental impact of just one single-use water bottle? When we throw away a single-use drinks bottle, we are wasting more than just the plastic of the
bottle. We are wasting the resources that created the bottle and the production of the bottle will
leave a lasting impact on our climate because of the greenhouse gases that were released during
its production
What is Carbon Footprint?: Carbon footprint (or CO2 footprint) is defined as the total emissions caused by an individual, event, organization, or product, expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent. Although there are established standards for calculating the CO2 footprint in manufacturing, transportation, agriculture, etc. there are also great levels of uncertainty.
CO2 footprint of bottled water: During a month, we estimate that average consumption of 500ml packaged plastic bottle in a hotel is approx. 30000 which will produce 2490 kg carbon footprint approximately. That means, annually it is producing around 29880 kg carbon footprint.
CO2 footprint of transporting bottled water: Transportation of bottled water is another big cause of carbon footprint due to the great distances some bottles travel. If the transport distance is 2,000 km by truck. Then 126 kg + 124 kg per ton = 250 kg or 250 g per liter and 375g per average bottle of carbon footprint is produced.
Why to use Glass Bottles?: Recycled glass is another renewable resource. According to the EPA, 90 percent of recycled glass gets reused to make new glass products. Recycled crushed glass, called cullet, is mixed in with raw materials to produce new glass. Cullet is less expensive than raw materials and uses less energy to melt. Recycled glass can be used to make new containers, or used as material for kitchen counters. Low-quality cullet is used in manufacturing decorative tiles, roadbed aggregates and insulation products.
