Nestlé Waters North America Using 100% Recycled Plastic for 3 More Brands
Nestlé Waters North America (NWNA) has started to convert its packaging to 100% recycled plastic for three more U.S. domestic still water brands. Ozarka® Brand 100% Natural Spring Water, Deer Park® Brand 100% Natural Spring Water and Zephyrhills® Brand 100% Natural Spring Water packaging, which has long been 100% recyclable, will now be both 100% recyclable and made from 100% recycled plastic. With the expansion of recycled plastic (rPET) to these brands, nearly 60% of all households in the U.S. will have access to one of our regionally distributed spring water brands in bottles made entirely with recycled plastic.
"We have made significant strides on our journey to use more sustainable packaging," said David Tulauskas, vice president and chief sustainability officer of NWNA. "Bottles made with other bottles, like these, provide tangible proof that recycling works and the circular economy for plastics is achievable. By using recycled plastic, we are breathing new life into existing materials, reducing the need for new plastic and our carbon footprint, and supporting the 757,000 jobs in recycling and reuse activities in the U.S."
