Can a PET water bottle be refilled and reused?
Yes. PET bottles are cleared for both single and repeated use by the FDA and other world health-safety agencies. It’s a common misconception that refilling and reusing a PET bottles will somehow cause the bottle to degrade, release harmful substances or cultivate bacteria. PET is a stable, inert material that doesn’t biologically or chemically degrade with use, and is resistant to attack by micro-organisms. Regulatory authorities have tested PET bottles and found no harmful substances in either new or re-used PET bottles.
