San Francisco International Airport's ban on the sale of plastic water bottles under 1 liter went into effect Tuesday.
If you’re looking to buy a small plastic water bottle when you go to San Francisco International Airport , you’re out of luck.
A ban on the sale of plastic water bottles under 1 liter went into effect Tuesday, according to ABC San Francisco affiliate KGO, but travelers still have the option of buying water in larger sizes. All of the airport's restaurants, retailers, lounges and vending machines will be required to sell water in recyclable aluminum, glass or BPI-certified bottles, according a statement released by the airport.“SFO continues to lead the way in airport sustainability initiatives,” Ivar C. Satero, the airport director, said in a statement. “With this move, we take a giant step towards our goal to achieve zero waste going into landfill.
“Tea and lemonade and sodas but not the water? Come on guys,” said Murrell Peddicord, another traveler. SFO has also urged travelers to bring reusable beverage containers to fill up at the airport’s drinking fountains located in all terminals in addition to the new ban.
