We always are pleased to see American companies doing what they can to reduce the amount of waste through recycling, making things easier to recycle and being leaders for others. Taken from a Recycling Today newsletter, here is one company which appears to be doing just that.
The article started, “Nestlé Waters North America (NWNA), Stamford, Connecticut, has committed to using 25 percent recycled plastic across its U.S. domestic portfolio by 2021 and 50 percent by 2025.” Additionally, “The company also has committed to making 100 percent of its packaging recyclable or reusable by 2025.”
However, for the company to accomplish this, there must be an increase in the recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) available. Towards this end, NWNA has expanded it’s working relationship with several key rPET suppliers, aiming to nearly quadruple its use of food-grade rPET in less than three years.
