Can plastic water bottles be reused?
Like single use plastic food containers, plastic water bottles (such as those that contain filtered or spring water) are supposed to be used only once and then recycled. However, there has been no scientific evidence to show that these bottles are a safety risk as long as they are reused and cleaned properly. Water bottles that are not cleaned properly can contain harmful germs on the mouth of the bottle. To reuse: wash with soap and water, and dry after each use.
