2 Plastic goes far away
Not just in terms of recycling, but the dangers of using plastic bottled water have been well-documented. Is there a trend to stop using it?

Dubai-based Tom & Serg co-founder Tom Arnel said: “Home water filtration systems are now more accessible and affordable than they once were. In a place like Dubai where water from the tap is undrinkable, the convenience of buying a filtration system is more economical and sustainable than buying plastic bottled water.”

Arnel says not using plastic bottled water is a new trend. He explains: “More and more people are adopting this trend, however, it is still a relatively new concept in the region. We suspect that as increased attention is brought to sustainability efforts in the region, the adoption of filtered water will become more popular and we will begin seeing more residents moving away from plastic bottles.”
