Nestlé Waters North America expands use of 100 % recycled plastic (rPET) in three additional brands, doubles rPET use across U.S. domestic portfolio.
Nestlé Waters North America announced that three more of our U.S. domestic still water brands have started to convert their packaging to 100 % recycled plastic.
There is an ever-increasing demand for products made of recycled materials in different product specifications and tender requirements. At the same time, many manufacturers make claims about the environmental benefits that result from products made with recycled materials.
However, how can verify these "green claims"? Recycled materials cannot be tested from laboratory reports. Instead, they can be verified through the tracking process of all materials in the product production process. It is necessary to track all materials through the production process to calculate the percentage of recycled content in the final products.
Thus, the verification and certification of recycled content are increasingly in demand.
As far as we know, Japan supports tax-free policies for renewable energy projects. In the UK, if businesses buy more than 30% of recycled materials, the government can enjoy tax-free services. More and more national policies in Europe have introduced many green energy plans. , in stimulating the market to transition to the goal of environmental protection, when we first started to understand, maybe the government was pushing forward, and now, big brands have begun to import recycled polyester backpacks and recycled cotton T-shirts as early as 3-4 years ago , Degradable PLA shopping bags, and recycled cotton shopping bags are increasingly replacing the previous cost of new materials. Let the energy in the earth be protected and maintained to a certain extent, at least slowly reduce the consumption of earth's energy. This opinion deserves something for each of us to do.
