The level of bottled water sales has been growing by something like 7 to 8% each year for the past decade or so. Worldwide consumption is estimated to have doubled between 1997 and 2005.
Worldwide, around about 200 billion bottles are sold every year. The US market makes up the lion’s share of this accounting for about 25% of global sales.
Recently however, there has been a bit of a backlash against bottled water – the impact on the environment being the main concern. The bottles are usually made from Polyethyleneterphthalate (PET). Certainly this is a material which can be recycled – the problem is that the actual recycling level achieved is thought to be less than 25%.
Energy usage for the production, transportation and eventual disposal of the bottles is another source of concern to environmentalists. Producing a litre of bottled water generates carbon emissions 5,000 times greater than that required for a litre of ordinary tap water.
There is no evidence, despite the extremely effective marketing of the bottled water producers, that such water is any better for your health than common or garden tap water. Some bottled waters have even been found to contain uranium or estrogenic chemicals. Salt is also present in some bottled waters – which is not good for your blood pressure.
As far as taste goes there is, again, scant evidence to suggest that bottled water beats tap water. In a blind taste test held in the UK, London tap water secured third place out of a selection of 24 different waters. Over in the USA, a 2007 episode of Penn and Teller (more entertainment than science – but still noteworthy) showed that diners could not differentiate between bottled water and water drawn from a garden hose.
As far as cost goes, any comparison will vary somewhat according to what particular brand of bottled water is under consideration. In general however, bottled water costs several hundred times more per litre than water from the tap.
Whatever way you look at it, whether in terms of environmental impact, health, taste or cost – bottled water doesn’t seem to have much to recommend it. If you really don’t like the taste of the water from your tap then you could always consider some type of filtration system. The cost will be a little higher than tap water, but very much less than bottled water. Using a solution like a water filter jug is also environmentally friendly as all parts of the filters are recyclable.
And if you want to carry water with you when you’re out and about then what about using a reusable bottle instead of throwing away loads of empty ones? For example, the Wottle bottle – by Irish designer Orla Kiely – is claimed to be the first reusable designer bottle in the world and is made using 100% recycled materials. Or do a bit of your own recycling and use an old Coke bottle.

Indonesia, Mexico and Argentina are thirsty for bottled water, just as the trend is waning in North America and Europe.
Groupe Danone SA reported its bottled water business grew 4.6 per cent in the third quarter, as strong demand in emerging markets offset declining demand in developed countries.
The French company, which bottles Evian water, controls about 10 percent of the global bottled water market. It predicted the growth trend would continue.
In North America, the trend is away from bottled water because of municipal and grassroots campaigns to cut plastic waste.
Overall, Danone, best known for its Activia yogurt, reported revenue of $5.7 billion US in the July-September period, down slightly from a year earlier.
On Wednesday, global food giant Nestlé Inc. reported its bottled water sales were down in North America and Europe
Nestlé owns the San Pellegrino and Perrier brands, both of which have been hit hard, according to a report by Bloomberg.
U.S. and European shoppers are cutting brand-name bottled water from grocery lists, opting for generic alternatives that can be a quarter of the price.
“Bottled water is facing the perfect storm right now,” Andrew Wood, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein, wrote before the sales figures were released.

In a win for the environment, New York will expand its deposit laws to include water bottles starting Oct. 31. A five-cent surcharge will be added to the cost of each water bottle sold, which customers can then return to stores for a refund. About 80 percent of unclaimed deposits will go to the state as much-needed revenue, resulting in some $115 million annually.
The law was originally intended to go into effect in June, but a coalition of bottled water companies filed suit in May, claiming that the expanded law was unconstitutional. That move put things on hold until April 2010 — until a federal judge in August ruled that key components of the bill could still take place prior to next year. Last Friday, the injunction was lifted and the bill deemed ready to roll.
Obviously, money for state coffers isn’t the only green this move will spur. Nationally, Americans buy an estimated 28 billion plastic water bottles annually. An estimated eight out of every 10 bottles will end up in a landfill. By giving people a monetary incentive to recycle, less waste will enter the landfill. Adding $2 to the cost of every pack of water bottles will also deter spending cash on something that’s considered unnecessary for most people with access to municipal water.
As a former bottle hunter, I can attest that expanding the law to include water bottles will also bring in some much-needed revenue to individuals. I know of many people who take time out of their day to scour garbage bins for refundable bottles. This extra income, while small, does help.
New York joins Connecticut, Oregon, California, Maine and Hawaii in returns that include bottled water.
