ÖKO EUROPE lets you save real money while doing good for your cells and our planet!
How much does bottled water really cost you?
Do the math yourself in less than a minute and find out how much you can save while avoiding hundreds of plastic bottles each year.
A Customized CalculationYou choose your habits; the simulator does the rest.
100% transparentOur assumptions are explicit and conservative.
No dataYour answers will remain on this page.
It's up to youWe give you the tools; you draw your own conclusions.
Where do you usually buy your water?
By default, the calculation uses the "supermarket" scenario. Move the slider if your bottles are typically purchased while traveling, at a train station, or at an airport.
1How many people are in your household?
2How much bottled water do you drink each day per person?
21 small bottles per week per person · ≈ 1.5 L per day per person
ⓘ Note: Authorities generally recommend about 1 to 1.5 L of water per day for an adult.

Our Calculation Assumptions
We're not trying to inflate the savings figures. The simulator provides you with a clear basis for doing your own calculations.
- Some bottled water sold in packs costs less per liter.
- Single bottles bought on the go often cost more.
- It's up to you to adjust this to fit your situation.

ÖKO: Update on Bottled Water
Bottled water is twice as contaminated with plastic particles than tap water.
However, the latter contains much more of undesirable molecules, according to studies serious and honest scientists.
A few key points for understand the value of letting go plastic bottles at the ÖKO's profit
A significant health risk
93 %
Bottled waterfrom 11 different brandscontained microplasticsin varying amounts
Researchers conducted thesetests in 12 countries, including Lebanon, India, and theUnited States, under the directionof Sherri Mason, a professorat the State University of NewYork at Fredonia
Bottled water is “theworld’s fastest-growing beverage market, valued at 147 billion U.S. dollars annually”

Uneven contamination levels acrossbrands and samples
01 Study Details
To detect microplastics, Mason and hiscolleagues used a special dye that bindsto plastic, an infrared laser, and bluelight that caused the microplastics to fluoresce.
More advanced techniques made it possible todetermine the nature of particles at least 100microns (0.1 millimeter) in size, but this could not be donefor the smaller particles(6.5 to 100 microns).
They are most likelymade of plastic, but the possibility thatother contaminants have beenadded remains open
Prof. Mason
I think it's because of the bottling process. Most of the plastic comes from the bottle itself.
Prof. Mason
Water in glass bottles also contained microplastics
02 Results and Conclusion
On average, researchers found10.4 particleslarger than 100 microns and 315 particles between6.5 and 100 micronsin every liter of water. These are all contaminantsabsorbed by our bodies.
Among the particles identified were polypropylene, nylon, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The sizes of these particles varied widely depending on the sample, ranging “from the width of a human hair to the size of a red blood cell.”
The quantities also varied: some contained thousands, while others contained none.
Thus, Nestlé Pure Life and Gerolsteiner had the highest average concentrations, at 807 and 930 microparticles per liter, respectively, compared with 30 for San Pellegrino and 63.1 for Minalba, which had the lowest level of contamination.
Particles small enough toenter the bloodstream
According to a report published in 2017 by theFood and Agriculture Organizationof theUnited Nations (FAO)
Smaller particles, on the order of 20 microns, or
enter the bloodstream before settling in the kidneys and liver
95 %
The plastic particles foundin the bottled water testranged in size from 6.5 to 100 microns
Particles between 6.5 and 100 microns are small enough, according to researchers, that some of them can pass through the intestine and spread throughout the body
With the ÖKO filter, these MICROPLASTICS don't get through!
All particles 1.25 microns or larger are captured
Particles smaller than 1.25 microns are trapped by the ÖKO nano-charged filter
Filtering your water is a must these days!
Because the long-term effects on our bodies are still unknown
