Frequently Asked Questions

Is bottled water actually better quality?
In most developed countries, no. EU + US tap water meets stricter regulations than bottled (more frequent testing, broader contaminant panel). Tap is usually superior in safety. Some bottled brands are LITERALLY tap water filtered (Aquafina, Dasani). The "purer" claim is mostly marketing.
What about taste?
Mostly mental. Blind taste tests show 85% of bottled-water-drinkers prefer their tap. The "taste" is largely the cold + brand association. Try: filter pitcher (€30 + €5 filter every 3 mo) → better than bottled at 1/100 the price + zero plastic.
Are reusable bottles safe?
Yes. Stainless steel (Klean Kanteen) or BPA-free plastic (Nalgene) are safe. Glass best taste. Wash with soap. The only real concern: keeping the same room-temp water bottle for days. Refill daily, you're fine.
How big is the climate impact?
Global bottled water industry: ~1.4M tonnes plastic/year + ~265M tonnes CO2 from transport (Pacific Institute 2024). Per person: 200+ bottles/year × 30g plastic = 6 kg plastic + 30 kg CO2 — annually. Lifetime: 500+ kg plastic + 2+ tons CO2. For something tap can do.
