+1 Water bio-bottle and Composting

At +1 Water we don't have illusions that our revolutionary bio-bottle will solve all the problems associated with the production and disposal of water bottles. We do believe however that our bio-bottle provides an important socially responsible option, along with a healthier choice for both consumers and the environment. Considering there are more than 60,000,000 plastic bottles going in to landfills in North America every day, as individuals and as a society we need to make better choices to improve the recycling of these products. Within Canada and Quebec in particular, the government has set an objective to reduce the current waste stream by 65% by the year 2008. This will require huge improvements in both the rates of recycling for all possible products as well as the implementation of active municipal compost programs.

According to the Composting Council of Canada there are more than 344 provincial, municipal and private industry initiatives providing technical support and referral services for composting programs across Canada.
