Nestle Taps China Water Thirst as West Spurns Plastic

Nestle SA’s water business has suffered as western consumers turn to the tap due to environmental concerns about plastic bottles. Fortunately for the Swiss company, in China environmental concerns are instead driving growth.

“China is a key priority for us,” said Gilles Duc, the head of Nestle Waters in the country. “The market is increasing a lot and we want to participate in that growth.”
