This episode discusses the environmental impact of plastic water bottles and the problem with microplastics breaking down from them, leading to contamination of water sources. They also touch upon the issue of leaching, which has only recently started being talked about.
In this podcast, the hosts discuss the recent rise of concern around the leaching of plastics from bottled water and the lack of FDA regulation in the industry.
The debate over whether it’s safe to reuse plastic water bottles continues. While some people believe that heating or prolonged storage can cause chemicals to leach into the water, others believe that reusable bottles are a sustainable option.
The plastic in water bottles doesn't break down; it just breaks apart into microplastics that can end up in our water supply and cause health issues, including endocrine disruption. The bottles themselves are also a major problem as they pile up in landfills and oceans, leading to pollution and harm to wildlife.
