This post is the first of many to come from SkyTrax Stainless Steel bottles, addressing the changes throughout Canada and the world in regards to their health, the environment and the ever evolving changes to the bottled water industry.  Here is a brief update on the state of eliminating and banning bottled water:

  • More than 30 municipalities in seven provinces have placed bans or restrictions on the use and sale of plastic bottles
  • The University of Winnipeg and most recently Memorial University currently do not sell bottled water anywhere on campus
  • 21 Universities across Canada have developed over 50 Bottled water free zones
  • 2 cities in Australia have completely eliminated and banned plastic bottles from all retailers
  • The plastic bottle industry has seen a decline of 3% in Sales in North America, and nearly 6% in Europe

These are only a few of the new and exciting developments to eliminating the sales of bottled water.
