Naya Spring Water, based in Canada, announced that it is introducing a plastic bottle that uses 100 percent recycled plastic. The company claims that the bottle is the first one to use 100 percent recycled plastic.
The introduction of the bottle follows seven years of research and development on the product. The recycled PET plastic used in the new bottle is FDA approved and meets the same safety standards as virgin plastic bottles. Naya's pure spring water will be available in the new bottles in the New York City area this month, and through the rest of North America by early next year.
"We're proud to be the first major spring water brand to introduce 100 percent recycled plastic bottles, which is a win 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, Inc. "This innovation is another demonstration of our commitment to put the environment at the heart of Naya's company strategy."
