The contradiction between convenience and environmental protection of mineral water bottles has become increasingly prominent

Recently, the mineral water company of Poland Springs, a subsidiary of Nestle, launched a new type of mineral water bottle, calling it an eco-friendly mineral water bottle, which is conducive to environmental protection. Is this mineral water bottle really good for nature?

The Natural Resources Defense Council’s “OnEarth” magazine published an article saying that according to Polish Spring Bottled Water's improved label, the new eco-friendly shape “differs visually and sensuously because it is specifically designed for In an advantageous environment, the average plastic used is reduced by 30%." However, the label on the water bottle does not mention that the water bottle is one of the most harmful to the environment, even if it uses less plastic than the competition.

Recently, the environmental movement created a new word: greenwashing. The term is used to describe a company or company that uses fake green certificates to deceive consumers and convinces consumers that their products can help nature. Polish Springs pretends to care for the earth, but this is only a thin layer of disguise.

The article confided that the history of Polish Spring eco-friendly water bottles can begin with a dinosaur. After the dinosaur died, it rotted in the soil. After millions of years, the rest became underground marshes filled with toxic black mud. After the explorer discovered it, it took out the newly discovered oil and sent it to a refinery in New Jersey, where the air was full of thick smoke and sulfur. The oil was made into a convenient Polish Spring eco-friendly mineral water bottle, which was then filled with pure, clean mineral water, which was about the same as New York City's tap water. In a restaurant, a bottle of mineral water from a Polish fountain was sold to a man. An hour later, the mission of the water bottle was completed and then thrown away. In the 400 years after the death of this man, the water bottle can be completely decomposed.

"OnEarth" magazine said that in summer, eco-friendly bottled water, like air conditioning, sales are very good. The Polish Spring brand implies natural, healthy mineral water. The picture on the label shows the original glaciers in the dense pine forests of Maine, deepening people's good impression.

The article stated that bottled water is easy to carry and hard to resist. Without them, consumers would have to wash the kettle and continue to bottle water, which is very troublesome. Most importantly, the eco-friendly labeling of bottled water reduces people’s guilt. Some other people who do not buy bottled water may choose to purchase eco-friendly bottled water. People naively believe that because these bottled waters are sold as environmentally friendly products, they are friendly to the environment.

Polish Spring eco-friendly water bottles are 30% less plastic than ordinary water bottles, but it does not change the reality of plastics harming the environment. Just like a car, an SUV car that can only travel 10 miles per gallon of gasoline is harmful to the environment. If its gallon mileage is increased by 30%, that is, 13 miles per gallon, it is still not good for the environment. In no sense can it be considered an eco-friendly car. Therefore, unless it is independently certified, the company’s own claims are not credible.

What about the Polish Spring eco-friendly water bottle? About 80% become rubbish after a single use. The Container Recycling Institute says that Americans have abandoned 50 billion recyclable water bottles this year, and many bottled water producers oppose the inclusion of water bottles in the states’ beverage drink laws. Mineral water bottles are a growing industry. With the expansion of scale, their ecological footprint is also increasing.
