Ice River Springs Water Co. Inc. is introducing a 100-percent recycled plastic bottle for water coolers.
The new 15-liter PET bottle is green in color, allowing the bottled water company to reclaim plastic from other used green PET bottles that might otherwise be wasted, the company said.
Ice River is introducing the bottles in retail outlets in Western Canada under the Arrowhead brand name.
“There’s enough plastic in the world today, we just need to find ways to reuse it,” CEO Jamie Gott said in a statement. “Few companies need the green plastic that we collect from our recycling operation. We have launched Arrowhead water in green bottles to make use of this plastic and take it out of landfills.”
Ice River Springs, based in Shelburne, Ontario, has 10 bottling plants and a plastic recycling operation called Blue Mountain Plastics. |
