ALEXANDRIA, Va. — On America Recycles Day, the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) encourages people to become more aware of the importance of recycling and to choose consumer products that are packaged in recyclable material, such as single serve PET bottled water and home office delivery water cooler containers, according to a press release.

Research shows that the better people understand the reasons for recycling, the more likely they will actually recycle and IBWA is making an extra effort to help consumers understand the benefits of recycling, stated the release.

“If consumers are more aware of how hungry reclaiming facilities are for recyclable goods, they will make a greater effort to recycle all of their products, including bottled water containers,” said Chris Hogan, vice president of communications at IBWA.
