Leave the plastic bottles at the supermarket and help us to drastically reduce the consumption of bottled water, which Italy is several steps above all other countries.  

Plastic bottles are anti-ecological, expensive and difficult to dispose of. In Italy, 150,000 tonnes a year accumulate in waste!

In 2013, more than 220 billion litres of bottled water were sold, mainly in Europe and North America. The United States is the first country by consumption with 49.4 billion bottles. In Italy, which according to Censis is the first European country for mineral water consumption, in 2015 65 % of the bottles were plastic and the per capita consumption was 208 litres proportionally higher than that of Americans.

Since disposable PET bottles  The only possibility is to recycle them, but currently only 14% of the plastic is recovered.

According to the National Association of Plastics Recyclers and Remanufacturers (ASSORIMAP), only about 25 per cent of the plastic sold as product packaging is recycled in Italy, so between 5 and 13 million of tonnes ends up in the sea every year, where 110 million tonnes of plastic are already found. According to a 2015 study, by 2050 there will be more plastic in the sea than fish.
