As part of the ongoing relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, the bottled water industry is playing a vital role by providing millions of bottles of clean, safe drinking water to those in need in Houston and along the Gulf Coast. This is being done through direct donations, giving water to charitable organizations, and contracts with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). "As with past disasters, the International Bottled Water Association's member bottlers and distributors began responding, some even before the hurricane made landfall, to provide substantial supplies of bottled water to those affected," said Bob Hirst, IBWA vice president of education, science, and technical relations.

MYTH: BOTTLED WATER BOTTLES ARE NOT SAFE. FACT Bottled water containers, as with all food packaging materials, must be made from FDA-approved food contact substances. So, the plastic and glass containers that are used for bottled water products (which are made from the same materials used in other food product containers) have undergone FDA scrutiny prior to being available for use in the market place. The FDA has determined that the containers used by the bottled water industry are safe for use with food and beverage products, including bottled water, and that they do not pose a health risk to consumers. Sometimes, the claim is made that individual retail-sized bottled water bottles contain Bisphenol A (BPA). This is not true; PET plastic, from which these bottles are made, does not contain BPA.
