Nov 5 - Nestle Waters CEO Says Industry Behind the Curve with Recycling
In an interview with Claudia Deutsch of the New York Times, Nestle Waters CEO Kim Jeffery conceded that "...the entire consumer products industry is behind the curve on recycling," but rejected arguments that bottled water was an environmental ill, pointing instead to Nestle's work to reduce the weight of its plastic bottles by 15%.
Many local governments in California are considering following San Francisco's lead and restricting the use of bottled water in city facilities.
