Nestle closes controversial Arizona plant
Nestlé is closing a water-bottling factory in Phoenix,
Arizona, that was intended to use 35 million gallons of water a year.
The factory sparked controversy when plans to open it were announced in 2016, as many questioned the decision to give Nestlé permission to source water from the drought-stricken state.
As the maker of the largest bottled-water brand in the world, Nestlé Pure Life, Nestlé is increasingly facing bottled-water backlash.
