Nestlй Waters, manufacturer of Arrowhead brand bottled water, has committed to using 50% recycled content in its water bottles, according to Californians Against Waste.
The bottle’s shape design will require 15% less energy to produce and will be made with 50% recycled PET. Most of the recycled material for the ReBorn bottles will be provided by CarbonLITE, a state-of-the-art plastic processing facility located in Riverside, Calif.
“Nestlй’s leadership in plastic recycling and product stewardship is real,” said Mark Murray, executive director of Californians Against Waste, in a statement. “Nestlй is making a serious investment in closed loop recycling that will pay dividends for consumers, the economy and the environment.”
