Question:

When to dispose of a reused water bottle?

When is the right time to get rid of a water bottle thats been reused over and over again .....I heard there was a certain point and time that you need to dispose of them because of some kind of toxin that develops but I wasnt sure when or how long after you've reused it that you should dispose of it...all answeres are greatly appreciated


Answers:
According to the American Plastics Council , plastic water bottles are safe to be reused ONLY if they are sent through a dishwasher or properly cleaned with hot water and soap. Washing the bottle is a must in between uses. In addition, the Council suggests buying a new bottle after 5-10 washings. The plastic can start to breakdown and become less sturdy after going through the dishwasher too many times.

When they start to look used and tired I toss them.

i put the bottles upside down in the dish washer the fill with my ro and freeze
