The entire life cycle of bottled water uses fossil fuels, which contributes to global warming, and it causes pollution such as micro-plastic. It's estimated that 86 percent of plastic water bottles used in the United States becomes landfill, where it takes at least 1,000 years to decompose, leaching pollutants such as microplastics into our soil and waterways. But don't fret it, new innovations in bio-based yarns is diverting landfill, reducing microplastic, lowering carbon footprints and reliance on fossil fuels!
