"Alarming Study: Adults Consume Massive Amounts of Plastic from Single-Use Water Bottles"

A study of 2,000 adults revealed that despite 22% acknowledging the potential health risks of drinking from single-use plastic water bottles and 88% being aware of the environmental impact, they still consume over 200 billion bottles in a lifetime. The study, commissioned by Ocean Bottle, highlights the need to end the toxic relationship with plastic bottles due to the presence of microplastics in the water and their detrimental effects on health and the environment. While 61% are trying to reduce their plastic bottle consumption, forgetfulness and lack of access to refill stations remain top reasons for purchasing them. Ocean Bottle is urging consumers to pledge to end their reliance on plastic water bottles, with a chance to win a reusable bottle.
