There has been a hue and cry and the reuse of Plastic Drink Bottles. Due to high chances of bacterial attack on plastic containers, it has been advocated to adopt to one time use of plastic items. Even at times the production units have re-engineered their design tool to get output of thin Drink Bottles and even cups that withstand one time use only. Especially for water bottles this conscious approach is mounting day by day. However, supporters for reuse of plastic bottles put forth the following remedial measures which they argue as safety measures;
a) To clean the container between uses.
b) US University study points out that bacterial infections are due to other hygiene conditions.
c) FDA in US already monitors the usage of manufacturing ingredients for plastic manufacturers.
d) PET is medically proved to be OK.
e) To ensure that bottle is free from damages.
f) To be cleaned, rinsed & dried between uses.
g) Dishwashing and hot water treatment are recommended.
h) Bleaching is better.
i) Not advisable to share bottle with others, even in family circle.
