Production Process
• Uses a lot of energy to make plastic bottles• Toxic chemicals are mixed with oil and water.• Often native or elderly people work for the plastic water
bottle companies which displace them. – Their resource has been taken.– Need money– They risk their lives working in Factories with toxics
• Toxics in - Toxics out– Bisphenol A

Facts on Production
• Production of plastics has increased over 2000% since Bakelite was first produced.
• The production of plastic emits substantial amounts of toxic chemicals( eg. ethylene oxide, benzene and xylenes) to air and water.
• Millions of dollars are spent yearly in plastics research, trying to find new plastics and to improve the existing ones.

Effects of BPA on people• Bisphenol A (BPA) is found in #7 PC, considered to be
another dangerous plastic.• Type 2 Diabetes may develop because of BPA, since it can
disrupt the proper function of the pancreas and insulin production.
• The problem with BPA contamination from polycarbonate water containers first came to light in 1998
• Manufacturers have quietly substituted other, safer plastics for their baby bottle products since the BPA leaching issue.

Effects of chemicals on environment
• Many tend to be gases and liquid hydrocarbons, which readily vaporize and pollute the air.
• Many are flammable and explosive.• Ex: Cancer Alley, Louisiana

State of California
• Did you Know..as of 2003, 1 billion plastic water bottles per year entered the state's landfills

PET(Polycarbonate Plastic)
• Polycarbonate plastic bottles and containers are identified by the plastic recycling symbol #7.
• This is used for a wide variety of plastics and plastic mixtures

Production of PET
• Making a kilogram of PET, which is enough for around 30 one-liter plastic bottles, takes around 3 liters of petroleum.
• More energy is then required to turn that PET into bottles, to filter, to ozonate or purify water.
