Nestlé Waters Canada has unveiled what it describes as one of the lightest such containers in the Canadian beverage industry: its next-generation 500-millilitre Eco-Shape bottle. The beverage manufacturer said the new bottle is part of an ongoing commitment to reduce plastic consumption across its brands. Weighing just 9.16 grams on average, this bottle contains 27% less plastic than its Eco-Shape predecessor introduced in 2007, and 60% less than its pre-Eco-Shape PET bottle introduced in 2000. Pure Life and Montclair will be its first brands to use the new bottle

Roxul Inc.
Roxul Inc. is the North American Operations of Rockwool International. In July of 2008, Roxul Inc. and Rockwool International celebrated 20 years of success in North America.Roxul Inc. is the leading North American manufacturer of stone wool insulation products for the North American market. We have two strategically placed manufacturing facilities, one in Milton (East) and the other in Grand Forks, British Columbia (West). Both factories use world-class technology to produce residential products, as well as a wide array of industrial, commercial, and marine stone wool insulation products.
Milton, Ontario - Rockwool International entered the North American market for the first time in 1988 by acquiring the Milton manufacturing facility. This location marks the group's first North American factory and serves as Roxul Inc's head office for North American operations. Since 1998, Milton has operated at capacity and has continued to grow every year. Throughout the 1990's, Rockwool International invested millions into the Milton facility to increase capacity, establish recycle facilities and emissions controls systems to improve operations and protect the environment.
The benefits of Roxul's insulation products, including acoustic and fire performance, as well as environmental, have catapulted Roxul's popularity among builders and DIYs. In March 2009, Roxul started up a state-of-the-art second production line in Milton to meet industry demand.
