In today's world, sustainability is not just a goal, but a necessity. The People Plan, a collaborative initiative between Coastal Ice & Water and Kuraray, offers an innovative approach to water bottle recycling with a clear focus on environmental responsibility and workforce development. This program integrates safety and hydration with a sustainability framework that emphasizes the circular economy. By collecting, consolidating, and weighing used water bottles, the plan ensures the efficient shipment and tracking of materials to repurposing mills, where they are transformed into new bottles.
