06 Mar 2020 --- This week in packaging, Danone’s water brands launched the “WeActForWater” initiative to tackle global water challenges. One of the key ambitions of this initiative is to halve the use of virgin plastic, reach 50 percent recycled PET (rPET) use worldwide and 100 percent rPET across Europe by 2025 for brands including evian, Volvic, AQUA and Bonafont. Also this week, DS Smith closed the sale of its Plastics Division to Liqui-Box for approximately £400 million ($520 million) after tax, while Brazilian craft brewer Bierland transitioned to metal packaging in partnership with Crown.
