    At all plastic is made the same

    Water bottle is literally cheapest shit there is…

    You can see sml pices of plastic on the bottle fraying when you buy it.

    Not am expert but PVC is a bit different …

    But point stands, there is just nuance to it.

    We got any petro bros to clarify around?

      I’m a plumber and it’s a well known fact that there is some amount of chemicals leaching into water from PVC, PEX and composite pipes. Enough to cause harm? Who knows.

      Also, microplastics are in the air we breathe. It’s pretty much impossible to avoid that so I wouldn’t worry too much about re-using single use bottles. There are more important things to pay attention to if one wants to live a long and healthy life such as staying lean and excercising.
