» Mineré natural mineral water under Nestlé (Thai) Ltd.’s Water Business Unit, building on last year’s success with the launch of the Mineré Eco-Friendly rPET bottle that reinforces the “BOTTLE MADE FROM BOTTLES” concept, is taking another step forward this year by engaging consumers to embrace plastic circularity with the launch of the ‘Crush On You’ campaign. This sustainability initiative will instil a shift in behaviour by encouraging consumers to crush PET bottles before throwing them in recycling bins, reducing the bottle size, increasing bin capacity, and thereby increasing the number of used PET bottles entering the recycling loop. This initiative aligns with Nestlé’s global sustainability ambition to reduce virgin plastic use by one-third by 2025, and reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

It has also been certified to comply with plastic resin standards by the FDA in the United States. The launch reinforces the concept of "BOTTLE MADE FROM BOTTLES", emphasising the recycling process that continuously transforms used bottles into new ones, closing the loop and preventing plastic waste from ending up in landfills, water resources, and the ocean. Moreover, it helps to reduce carbon emissions. This initiative aligns with Mineré's goal of transitioning all its packaging to 100% recycled rPET plastic by 2025 and supports the policy of Thailand’s Pollution Control Department.
