Protecting our rivers, streams and wetlands will help ensure that tap water remains a service which delivers good quality drinking water for everyone at a fair price. In a statement today, the IBWA supported WWF's calls to clean up and better protect water resources but said the organization was mistaking the bottled water industry for the problem itself. Western Europeans continue to be the greatest consumers of bottled water. Regardless of whether water comes from the tap or from a bottle, the world should demand it be clean, safe and available for future generations. The fact is, people are increasingly choosing bottled water because of its consistent high quality, safety, taste and convenience.
Bottled water has an outstanding safety record.
All bottled water packaging is recyclable and the industry is an outspoken advocate of recycling. The association says it supports all efforts to clean up and properly protect waters at the source. For more on the IBWA, click here . All Rights Reserved. Inc. All Rights Reserved.
