Still bottled water continues to be the most popular bottled water variety, making up 88% of the sector in total volume terms. Off-trade volume sales for still water fell 1% in 2008, and dragged down the total bottled water sector to just a 1% volume sales growth. This was due to highly-publicised criticisms in 2008. Critics vociferously challenged bottled water with respect to its negative environmental impact as well as, for some brands, its very nature as filtered municipal tap water. Cities such as San Francisco banned any of its government departments from purchasing bottled water. The industry was forced to react in various ways. The International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) promoted bottled water, not as a rival to tap water, but as a healthier alternative to other beverages on the market. The IBWA also continued to push for the recycling of the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) water bottles (also common to other beverage bottles), as only about 14% of water bottles are recycled by consumers.
