Bottled water companies continue to be concerned about the environment and are working to increase consumer recycling, the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) said today.
The results of a second benchmarking study released today by the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) show that the amount of water and energy used to produce bottled water products in North America is still less than all other types of packaged beverages. On average, 1.32 liters of water (including the liter of water consumed) and 0.24 mega joules of energy are used to produce 1 liter of finished bottled water.1
According to the Beverage Marketing Corporation (BMC), the average wholesale price per gallon of domestic non-sparkling bottled water was $1.21 in 2015. As a popular retail food product, bottled water is available at many differing price points.
By federal law, FDA regulations governing the safety and quality of bottled water must be at least as stringent as the EPA regulations that govern tap water. And, in some cases, the bottled water regulations are more stringent.
