NWNA vice-president and chief sustainability officer David Tulauskas said: “For more than five years, we’ve brought to market an increasing number of bottles made with other bottles and launched campaigns to inspire consumers to recycle their bottles helping to drive toward a circular economy.
“As we make progress toward a zero-waste future, we’re enthusiastic to build on our work by exploring alternative technologies such as those presented by Timeplast.”
NWNA will be offering financial and other support to assess the technology by integrating its standards for food-grade packaging with Timeplast’s technology.
Under this investment, the two companies have created a limited liability company named as TPN Alliance Polymers, which will be based in Coral Gables, Florida.
