Bottled water is a waste. My employer is one of the largest consumers of post consumer PET washed bottle flake in the US. The volume of plastic they're consuming is staggering, and that's just what people recycle. We consume 10k-20k lbs of plastic packaging each day at just this site for food packaging(stuff like grapes, cherries, blueberries, etc). The good news is that it is also recyclable, but very few places do recycle the containers. As a corporation, we're probably consuming close to 100k lbs a day (mostly from recycled material).
We also operate the largest private solar array in the North America.
