Really remarkable entry to read on.. I am really amazed with this article. Looking for more info.
I have mixed feelings about this. I’m glad it causes less emissions and can still be recycled with normal plastic, (unlike some bioplastics) but it’s much better to get rid or drastically cut down on the whole bottled water craze and disposable bottles, especially in countries where the tap water is safe. If we don’t like the taste we can buy a filter or squirt some lemon juice in it.
