Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are stepping up efforts to recycle plastic containers amid a growing backlash against the sale of bottled water in the US and the UK.
随着美国与英国对瓶装水的反对日益强烈，可口可乐和百事公司在塑料容器的回收利用方面正在逐步加大力度。

Authorities including San Francisco's city government and the UK's Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, have recently raised concerns over the amount of plastic and energy wasted on a liquid that can be had from a tap.
旧金山市政府和英国环境、食品和乡村事务部等各国政府部门近期对瓶装水浪费的大量塑料和能源表示担忧，而自来水完全能代替瓶装水。

A widespread consumer and government attack on bottled water would hit a multibillion dollar industry and deprive Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Nestlé and others of a significant source of profits in a market that has grown rapidly because of consumers' preference for non-fizzy, healthier drinks.
消费者和政府对瓶装水的广泛抨击可能会对这个价值数十亿美元的市场造成冲击，并使可口可乐、百事公司和雀巢等公司丧失一个重要利润来源。由于消费者偏好更为健康的非碳酸饮料，瓶装水市场成长迅速。
