Naya introduces world’s first 100% recycled bottle

Shaun Weston10 Dec 2009

Naya Natural Spring Water has announced that it’s the first bottled spring water company in the world to use 100% recycled plastic in its bottles.

Recycled plastic, or rPET (recycled polyethylene terephthalate), is made from plastic that was previously used as packaging, then recycled and processed to create new bottles.

After seven years of R&D, Naya’s 100% rPET bottles are engineered to utilise plastic waste, which otherwise could end up in landfills. The rPET plastic used in Naya’s new bottle is approved by Health Canada and meets the same rigorous safety standards as virgin plastic bottles. The new bottles will be available everywhere beginning next month.

“We’re proud to be the first major spring water brand to introduce 100% recycled plastic bottles, which is a victory for the environment, as well as for consumers who enjoy bottled water and want to reduce their impact,” said Daniel Cotte, president of Naya Waters “This innovation is another demonstration of our commitment to put the environment at the heart of Naya’s company strategy.”
