The impact of bottled water

Everything we do in life has an environmental impact and that includes drinking any type of beverage, but in reality the impact of bottled water is relatively low – estimated to be equal to around 0.05% of total UK carbon emissions[1]

 

Relative impact

Bottled water has the lowest environmental impact of all bottled drinks; the carbon footprint of fizzy drinks is 2-3 times’ greater than bottled water, and that of fruit juices or smoothies is 7-8 times’ greater.
