Multi-Pure has been a Green Company long before it was fashionable to be so!  

For 40 years since 1970 Multi-Pure has manufactured drinking water filtration systems that help provide solutions to environmental problems such as plastic water bottles, harmful contaminants, and the careless waste of precious resources.  We’re proud of the “green” products we manufacture, using materials that are biodegradable and come from renewable resources. 

 

Individual use of plastic water bottles has become a multi-billion dollar industry.  Not only is bottled water much more expensive than tap water, but there is also a serious cost to our planet:

• 1.5 million barrels of oil are used annually to manufacture plastic water bottles. (Earth Policy Institute)
• 2 million tons of plastic bottles are land filled every year.  (Worldwatch Institute)
• Only 1 out of every 10 plastic bottles is recycled.
• Bottled water has to either be pumped out of the ground or treated.  Up to 1500 gallons of water are wasted during this process.
• Bottled water uses fossil fuels in the making, filling, transporting, and recycling of plastic water bottles…up to 187 gallons of oil are spent!   To learn more about this process, check out “The Story of Bottled Water” atwww.storyofstuff.org/bottledwater.php
• 1 billion pounds of CO2 is emitted in the transportation of bottled water in the United  States alone.
• 40% of PET bottles recycled in the United States in 2004 were exported – adding to the resources used.

THE SOLUTION: 1 Multi-Pure water filter cartridge = 12,000 8oz plastic water bottles! 


What happens when you throw away your old, used cartridge?

The used cartridge is actually GOOD for the landfills!  It continues to absorb even more chemical pollutants in the ground.
