Gone are the days of buying a pre-flight plastic bottle of water at San Francisco International Airport. If you want to hydrate, you'll either have to bring your own reusable bottle or prepare to buy an airport-approved glass or aluminum water bottle.
In an effort to make SFO more environmentally friendly, the airport is adding plastic water bottles to its list of restricted food service items starting August 20.The airport, just south of San Francisco, set a goal three years ago of becoming the world's first zero-waste airport by 2021. According to the nonprofit Zero Waste Alliance, that means diverting at least 90% of waste from landfills and incinerators by recycling and composting.
SFO defines a bottle of water as drinking water in a sealed box, bag, can, bottle or other container intended primarily for single-service use and having a capacity of 1 liter or less. This includes purified water, mineral water, carbonated or sparkling water, and electrolyte-enhanced water.The ban does not apply to any flavored drinks like soda, iced tea or coffee and juice.
