Aluminum water bottles are eco-friendly!
One of the nicest aspects of 612 Water's bottles is that they are REUSABLE, RESEALABLE & RECYCLABLE. Since recycling is still a very energy consuming process, reusing is the #1 way we can help the environment as consumers. The aluminum bottles are made from recycled material and containe

In order to help save the planet, one needs to be conscious about their need to reduce, reuse, and recycle. Choosing aluminum bottles are one of the easiest and most environmentally-friendly actions you can take to help preserve the environment. In fact, aluminum contains 3x more recycled content than any other beverage container.
Furthermore, aluminum quickly decomposes, unlike its counterpart, plastic, which can take 400 years to decompose. This, in turn, frees up landfills. Additionally, it takes significantly less energy to produce aluminum than any other container, making it a massive energy and power saver. In fact, emissions from transporting and producing aluminum are 7-21% lower than that of making and transporting plastic, and 35-49% lower than making and transporting glass bottles.

-
Aluminum is 100% recyclable and can be recycled indefinitely.
-
Shining high recycle content aluminum for its bottles with approximately 80% recycled metal content vs. industry average of only about 60%
-
Recycled aluminum uses 95% less energy to produce than virgin aluminum.
-
Aluminum bottles are 90% lighter than glass which requires less fuel to transport and reduces its carbon footprint.
-
Approximately 28% of glass is recycled, compared to around 57% of aluminum
-
A predominance of green glass bottles end up in landfills as do a significant portion of all other glass when the costs to transport (heavy) glass to a processing facility outweigh the value of the glass itself. The effective “recycle radius”
