Nestlé Waters North America (NWNA) announced it will achieve 25 percent recycled plastic across its U.S. domestic portfolio by 2021. The company noted it plans to continue expanding its use of recycled materials in the coming years, further setting an ambition to reach 50 percent recycled plastic by 2025.
The company is expanding its relationship with key supplier Plastrec (Joliette, Canada) and working with other suppliers to support its ability to nearly quadruple its use of food-grade recycled plastic, or rPET, in less than three years. This comes on the heels of Nestlé Waters’ announcement last month about the expansion of its partnership with CarbonLITE, as the rPET supplier builds a third U.S. facility in the Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania.
