  1. Plastic Water Bottles Production By: Arjun Vaswani To: His Supremacy, Terence Donohue, President of Mbantu

  2. 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

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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

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

  7. 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

  8. 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.
