Guest Speaker Gail Cosman, President of Nestle Waters Canada
Posted on Sunday, February 21st 2010    Gail Cosman, President of Nestle Waters Canada, the largest manufacturer and distributor of bottled water in Canada gave the audience an overview of the bottled water industry. She addressed two of the major concerns with bottled water, the availability of groundwater in the Guelph area and the plastic bottles that are used and the way they are disposed of.
Ms. Cosman pointed out that only 0.0014% of all water used by other permitted users, including commercial, agricultural, industrial and recreational, is used by bottlers in Ontario.
Bottles are becoming lighter and will shortly use 60% less plastic than 5 years ago. Also, Ms. Gosman pointed out that great strides are being made recycling PET, the plastic bottles are made of.
