Experts propose bottled water material should be glass bottles

On the 6th, the media published the article “One Plastic Bottle Discards 7 Bottles of Water”, which revealed that the production of plastic bottles not only consumes large amounts of water, but also pollutes the environment. However, the reporter learned from the survey that most consumers are reluctant to give up bottled water. In the eyes of many consumers, drinking plastic packaged bottled water is not only safe, convenient, but also a fashion. In this regard, Professor Han Hongjun, director of the Department of Municipal Engineering at Harbin Institute of Technology, believes that this is a wrong concept of drinking water. To return to tradition, using glass bottles instead of plastic bottles can make bottles reused, save a lot of water, oil and other resources, but also reduce pollution, but also very convenient. Glass bottled water quality is also better than plastic bottled water.

Three Misunderstandings of Consumers

Take a walk on the street, you can feel how beautiful the bottled water is in plastic bottles. Mineral water, pure water, nutrient water, and all kinds of tea can be seen in almost every corner of plastic bottled water. Why are consumers so keen to drink plastic bottled water? On the 6th, the reporter conducted a survey on the streets of Harbin City.

Point of view: good quality

In a bookstore in Nangang, a university boy told reporters that there are boiling water in their school dormitories, but many students still drink bottled water. “Now the problem of water pollution continues to arise. Everyone pays special attention to drinking water safety and feels treated bottled water. It is always better than tap water quality, and drinking is assured.” A teacher told reporters that she also drink bottled water at home, even cooking water is used to deal with bottled water, “bottled water production process supervision by the quality supervision department, quality Certainly stronger than tap water."

Professor Han Hongjun commented: In fact, there is no big difference between plastic bottled water on the market and home tap water. From a certain point of view, tap water after treatment in a water plant is safer than bottled water. Bottled water has hidden safety problems in the processing process. Some manufacturers with small scales may be contaminated if there is a problem in one part of the process. Moreover, foreign scientists have pointed out that plastic bottles contain toxic chemicals that, when mixed with beverages, can easily cause disorders of the nervous system.

Point two: very convenient

At the bus stop opposite the Harbin Railway Station, the reporter chatted with a middle-aged man drinking plastic bottled water. The middle-aged man was surprised to hear that plastic bottles would consume a lot of water during the manufacturing process. "I never heard of it before!" said the middle-aged man. "It's thirsty to go on the road, buy a bottle of water, and it's convenient!" “Another old man who waited for the car said, “In the past, I had to bring a cup of water to the train. Now fewer and fewer people bring cups. It is more convenient to buy a few bottles of water! After drinking, the plastic bottle is thrown. It has become a habit for people!” The two interviewees all admitted that the pollution problem of plastic bottles had been heard, but it was convenient to drink bottled water.

Prof. Han Hongjun commented: Convenience cannot be done at the expense of the environment, let alone fling. The recovery rate of plastic bottles in China is only a little over 60%, and the crux is here. It is our recommendation to throw plastic bottles into the bin after drinking.

Point three: very stylish

"Advertising stars on TV are drinking bottled water. Didn't the athletes drink plastic bottled water on the stadium?" In the interview, an avant-garde woman asked the reporter. "The tap water boiled, although it can be used, but it's not young people. In pursuit of fashion, I think drinking plastic bottled water is a social fashion."

Professor Han Hongjun commented: Fashion is not a blind comparison, nor is it to satisfy vanity. In a modern society, a green, healthy, low-energy and less-polluting lifestyle is the real fashion.

Manufacturers have tried glass bottled water

Professor Han Hongjun believes that after the tap water in Kazakh City is gradually introduced into the water source of the Mopanshan Reservoir, there will be no problem in boiling water after processing by the water plant. In the future, urban residents can use water to separate domestic water and drinking water. This is a direction, so people can safely drink tap water at home. When you go out, it is really convenient to drink bottled water. We can advocate using glass bottles instead of plastic bottles. Because glass bottles can be reused, they save energy and reduce pollution compared to plastic bottles.

It is understood that some domestic bottled water manufacturers have taken into account the problem of water consumption and pollution of plastic bottles, and gradually reduce the amount of plastic. For instance, the “Glacier Water” brand mineral water company claims that the company has reduced its plastic consumption by 40% in the past 5 years. Some manufacturers have used glass bottles directly to produce bottled water. For consumers, drinking plastic bottled water should be minimized, not only saving energy and water resources, but also protecting ourselves.
