NPD - Bottled water's plastic conundrum? Eat the bottle
2015-10-24 10:18:00| Daily beverage news and comment - from just-drinks.com
From a sales and growth perspective, there's a lot to like about bottled water. With US per-capita consumption up just over 6% in 2014, according to Canadean, bottled water is helping beverage makers forget about steadily-shrinking sales of carbonated soft drinks. But, bottled water has issues of its own, primarily related to single-use plastic packaging, which is increasingly seen as wasteful and possibly even harmful to health.
