Sure it does, but how many use it? In the US only 20% of the bottles get recycled, which means 80% go into landfill.

A quote for "german researchers"? You know better than that, a link to the study would be helpful.

As for water helping with weight loss, it helps psychologically for sure (drink something to feel less hungry, etc), but the water itself doesn't facilitate the weight loss; if you take in less calories than you burn, you lose weight. And I'm not convinced that drinking lots of water has an impact on a metabolism.
