Finance : Ambev to launch Brazil's first canned water by year-end, executive says

Brazilian beverage firm Ambev SA will launch its first canned water by year-end, following a global trend to step up recycling and phase out plastic containers as consumers shift towards greener alternatives, a company executive said. The move is part of a push by parent Anheuser Busch InBev to adopt more sustainable practices, and comes as other multinationals, such as Coca-Cola Co, PepsiCo and Nestle also launch canned water elsewhere. In Brazil, Ambev will start using its breweries in the southeastern state of Rio de Janeiro to produce its water brand AMA in aluminum cans to be distributed countrywide, its head of sustainability, Richard Lee, told Reuters in an interview.
