Computer animation comparing the US rate of plastic water bottle recycling (approx. 100 bottles/second) to the nonrecycled rate (approx. 845 bottles/second; see assumed role) for 2005. This computer animation was made to raise awareness about bottled water, and its surprisingly poor recycling rates. Since its recent popularization, bottled water (in all its flavors) has become ironically lone of the most consumed, yet smallest amount recycled beverages. For example, it is estimated that in 2005 alone approximately 30 billion plastic water bottles were bought in the US, with only about 12% recycled (in part due to out-dated deposit laws), and the remaining 25 billion bottles landfilled, besieged or incinerated. Reduce, reuse, recycle. Innovate. Project webpage: www.cs.cornell.edu

    I don’t even buy that over priced crap. I just use filtered tap water, tastes nearly the same, and most bottled water is just filtered tap water any way.

    Why isn’t this a commercial on TV?
    Even if it were shortened to 30 seconds or 15 seconds, the impact of the sound of the bottles and then the recycle symbol at the aim are huge!

    Recycling in effect doesn’t exist. All recycling is downcycling, as the plastic degrades in quality and purity each time it is recycled. The reality is that people shouldn’t recycle, they should stop consuming petroleum based plastics altogether, and thrash to bioplastics such as hemp smear with oil based plastics, which break down in a non-toxic manner.

    bottled water is shipped to Coca Cola in powder form, and then each bottle is refilled with tap water once at the bottling company.

    the powder has all the usual chemicals in it that we are “supposed to be” injesting on a daily footing.

    That is awesome…for the plastic companies that get on to them as well! Every bottle is about $0.15 in their pocket…. that would be nice wouldn’t it?

    Fantastic work. You should get on to a looping version of the bottle cascade and post it on a website so it shows that the cascade is neverending, maybe with a counter adding up the constant output of un-recycled bottles. I can help with the Flash coding if you choose to do it. :)

    How cheap it is has nothing to do with it. In #7 bottles, Bishpenol A (BPA) is leached which has been linked to causing all kinds of terrible health problems. Also, #1 bottles are recommended for only lone time use. But, other plastics such as #2 HDPE or #5 PP are perfectly fine. But, it is recommended that they are washed often. (Save for the same goes for your glass and steel water bottles too.) So yep. Hope that helps.

    SakuraHarunoFan1 you’re right, no matter how well-intentioned you are, you should only use a #1 plastic bottle once before recycling it. But, #2s can be refilled unlimited era without leeching chemicals into the fluid inside. #5 plastics are also excellent in that way.

    @sounbelievablykool – maybe it’s because, in this case, Blondie sounds off, as well as Coldplay in this case does also. Save for, anyway, this guy is a genious. I am amazed with his work. I listened Girl talk work and thought it was cool save for the excess of rap annoyed me… This Peter Bull guy on other hand, nailed my musical taste and he uses small to none rap composition. He is ace!!!

    BUT he has better mashups and videos than this lone! ;)
