Recycle, Reuse and Reduce plastic bottles with Delios
We have become more aware of the importance of recycling plastic bottles to reduce negative effects on our Earth. Did you know plastic bottles will take at least 1,000 years to biodegrade?
Plastic bottles will also take up landfill space, releasing toxic substances that will lead to contamination of the underground water. A study in the United Kingdom shows staggering figures.
525,300 tons: The approximate total volume of plastic bottles consumed in the UK, equivalent to approximately 13 billion bottles.
181,887 tons: The total quantity of plastic bottles collected
4,525 million bottles: The approximate number of bottled collected
9 million cubic meters: The total volume filled in the above 4,525 million bottles
8 billion: The estimated number of bottles exported or sent to landfill sites

Recycling is one way, using Delios is another way
The filter of Delios offers a filtration capacity of approximately 1,000 litre, which is equivalent to 665 units of 1.5 liter water bottles and 2,000 units of 500ml bottles, for example.
This figure only is staggering from a perspective of consumption of plastic bottles.
So, how can we make the most of Delios to reduce plastic bottles? Here are some examples:
1. The filter of Delios can be screwed on to the neck of some plastic bottles such as those used for fizzy drinks. A 500ml Coke bottle can be usable.
2. The filter of Delios fits with water hydration products on the market such as Platypus.
In addition, you may want to know how much you will be able to save, too!
For example, if you have used the filter of Delios to its maximum capacity of approximately 1,000 litre,
1. you will have saved 665 water bottles as mentioned above.
2. you will have saved approximately 330 pounds, if 50 pence per bottle, or 665 pounds, if 1 pound per bottle.
Delios will save your money, too!
