FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. 3,200 PLASTIC BOTTLES CAN BE SAVED.

Consumers use 1.5 million tons of plastic globally each year for water bottles**- of which less than 5% of the plastic waste is recycled.***

As our demand on natural resources grows, so does our responsibility to make a difference. By switching from bottled water to PUR^® faucet filtered water, you’ll get 400 gallons of clean filtered water a year—which is like making thousands of plastic water bottles disappear.*
