Evian, the France-based bottled water company, announced that it will make all its water bottles from 100 percent recycled plastic. It also announced plans to use all materials in a closed loop by 2025, effectively becoming “circular” and not contributing to buildup of plastic waste.
The company partnered with a Canadian startup called Loop Industries to develop a new plastic recycling technology that depolymerizes old plastic bottles to form a material very similar to that which makes brand new bottles. Such a process makes recycling bottles significantly easier and requires no oil or gas to do it.
