Furthermore, do they refill the bottles they collect, or do they grind them up and make new bottles. The energy expended is likely absurd. My problem with this is that bottled water remains a complete sham and this offering really just perpetuates the sham. If you really need to have water with you all the time (which you don't) then buy a reusable bottle and fill it up at the tap. If you're paranoid, find a filtered tap. Sorry to bah humbug this one, but in addition to the above, I agree with you that the potential market for this is limited anyway. Many of the people who care about this problem wouldn't but the bottles to begin with. Great analysis.
