Plastic Bottles are the major reason for the pollution which is happening in the sea. Urban legends have been rife for decades about a large mountain of plastic trash polluting the Pacific Ocean.

There are many parts in the world where plastic bottles are the only source of safe transport of water. But most of the plastic which is used in this process are not reusable and hence are thrown away.

The thrown masses are high in number and are causing a major threat to the aquatic life. it is true that these bottles are recyclable but  only 30 percent of the bottles are recycled in the UK plants. Other 70 percent are shipped to the Asia.

By recycling and recovering packing material, fewer raw materials are used reducing waste sent to land fill and impact on the environment. 1 ton of plastic bottles being recycled saves 1.5 tonnes of carbon being released into the atmosphere.

E- Cover has introduced green bottles which are made up of sugarcane; these are reusable, recyclable and renewable.
