Q: Why is it important to drink water?
A: There are several reasons why it's important to drink water every day. Water is important for every aspect of our health. Almost two thirds of our body's makeup is water. Not only is hydration vital to your body's well-being, replacing one 355 mL sugared beverage each day with water can trim more than 50,000 calories a year from your diet.* Keeping well hydrated helps maintain concentration and alertness. And, recent U.S. studies show that 64% of school-aged children are insufficiently hydrated before they even leave for school. Kids, in particular, need to drink water to maintain proper hydration.**

Q: What is Nestlé Waters Canada’s role in recycling efforts, once the product has been consumed?
A: Every plastic bottle we produce is 100 percent recyclable and we encourage people to do their part to recycle them. Nestlé Waters Canada, as part of the industry stewardship program, financially supports the Province of Ontario's highly successful blue box recycling system. In Ontario, all water bottlers, through participation in Stewardship Ontario, do our part to support recycling by paying 50 percent of the municipal recycling costs for our products in the province.

Q: What about all the discarded water bottles that are ending-up in landfills? What is Nestlé Waters Canada doing to reduce this environmental effect?
A: Nestlé Waters Canada, like many manufacturers, is trying to reduce packaging. For example, since 2000, we have reduced the plastic content in our packaging by approximately 30 percent. We have also dramatically reduced our corrugate use, by 88,000 tons between 2004 and 2008. Our 500 millilitre “Eco-Shape” bottle, introduced in 2007, is among the lightest in beverage history. All of our packaging is 100 percent recyclable. Nestlé Waters Canada promotes the recycling of our bottles. We also actively support long-term research into new environmentally focused packaging technologies such as biodegradable bottles. When possible, Nestlé Waters Canada works to reduce its various facilities' waste by reusing items such as wooden pallets and shipping containers.

Q: Why do I sometimes see small white particles in my Nestlé Pure Life bottled water?
A: Storing Nestle^® Pure Life^® natural spring water in very cold or freezing temperatures can cause the natural minerals in the spring water to dissipate and be visible in the water. This is not harmful in anyway.
