Bottled water

Data from Balearic Islands

Despite the perfect sanitary and organoleptic qualities of tap water in practically all parts of the country, the consumption of bottled water continues to be the chosen option in many homes.


If we compare tap water with bottled water, we observe that tap water manages to greatly reduce the environmental impact, since the impacts derived from transportation are reduced, resources are not consumed for the manufacture of the container, thus reducing the impact derived from the management of packaging waste.
