US: Statistieken gebotteld water

The International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) has released 2015 bottled water statistics, which show that Americans’ consumption of bottled water increased by 7.9% and bottled water sales are up 8.9% since the previous year. Bottled water is poised to overtake carbonated soft drinks as America’s largest beverage category by volume by 2017, if not by the end of 2016. The bottled water industry is utilizing a variety of measures to continue reducing its environmental impact. The results of a benchmarking study show that the amount of water and energy used to produce bottled water products in North America is less than all other types of packaged beverages (Persbericht IBWA, 24 mei 2016).
