With plastic bottle waste on the rise, water filters can provide path to sustainabilityTAIPEI, Taiwan -- Plastic bottles in Taiwan produced up to 30,000 tonnes of waste this summer, the equivalent to 200 million iPhone 6s, a study produced by water filtration company Brita found. Because most plastic bottles are designed for one-time use, germs from saliva tend to multiply within a few days. The Brita CEO said the company's water filtration devices were convenient, easy to use, could be used everywhere and also offered great value for money. Products in Brita's range of filtration devices are able to filter out heavy metals found in the water, something even boiling water cannot achieve. The company said water filtration devices can produce clean water while helping to protect the environment.
