Americans are drinking more bottled water than any other packaged beverage – outselling carbonated soft drinks, by volume, for the first time in history, the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) and the Beverage Marketing Corporation (BMC) announce.
There are many bottle types on the market for on-the-go consumers, such as PET bottles, the good old glass bottle (for products like Starbucks coffee) and even stand-up pouches.
Danone and Nestlé Waters have joined forces with Origin Materials, a startup based in Sacramento, CA, to form the NaturALL Bottle Alliance, and together, the three aim to develop and launch at commercial scale a PET bottle made from bio-based material.
