So maybe here in the US you can drink tap water, but would you do that just south or the border in Mexico? Or even further in the rest of Latin America? I don't think so. That's why I think Evian and Volvic are doing the right thing, moving to recycled plastic instead of new and ultimately maybe even biodegradable plastic derived from plants. If then all the users of those bottles had an incentive to recycle instead of throwing the bottles out of the window of their cars or into the trash, that could be a truly sustainable achievement. And completely in line with the companies making a profit. I don’t agree that plastic bottles have no right to exist.
