Wynand Nel, owner of Oasis Water Nelspruit, said he know that it takes a lot of time to recycle and there is not much money to make out of it, but that it makes a huge difference.
He suggests that you re-use the bottles. “For every 10 times you reuse the bottle, 10 other plastic bottles are spared,” Nel said.
By filling up plastic bottles with clean water, you look after yourself and after nature.
When the bottle becomes unusable, the best thing to do with it is to recycle.
