What are the advantages and disadvantages of plastic water bottles?

Since 1997, plastic drinking bottlees have become popular all over the world because of their low price, light weight and practicality. However, in recent years, the sales of plastic water bottles have continued to be sluggish. What causes this phenomenon? Let's start with the advantages and disadvantages of plastic water bottles.

The lightness of plastic water bottles is well-known. Since plastic materials are well shaped, the shape of plastic water bottles will be more personalized and fashionable than other water bottles.The plastic water bottle processing process is relatively simple, the material price is low, the processing cycle is short, the speed is fast, the defective product rate and other reasons cause the low price of the plastic water bottle. These are the advantages of plastic water bottles.

However, plastic water bottles also have some disadvantages, such as cracking due to the influence of the environment and water temperature. The plastic bottle is not resistant to falling. The most serious thing is that there are not many plastic materials that are truly harmless to health. Although many plastic materials are food-grade, once they exceed the material temperature requirements, they will become hazardous materials, such as PC and AS. Once the water temperature exceeds 70°C, the material will release BPA, which can even cause the water bottle to deform or even break.

Since the materials cannot meet people's safety needs, plastic water bottles are strictly prohibited from entering the market in the European market since 2017, except for tritan materials. Subsequently, the US market also began to propose similar regulations, and then more and more countries and regions began to restrict plastic water bottles. This has caused the plastic water bottle market to continue to decline in recent years.

With the continuous advancement of human civilization and continuous technological innovation, more new plastic materials will be born on the market. For example, the tritan material, which has been recognized by the global market in recent years, was developed by Eastman of the United States. Compared with traditional plastic materials, tritan is more durable, safer, resistant to high temperatures, does not deform, and does not contain BPA. Materials like tritan will continue to be developed with the development of technology, and plastic water bottles will also go from one trough to another peak.
