KINGSTON, Jamaica – Drink manufacturing company WISYNCO is announcing that its new production of WATA brand bottles will utilise 50 per cent less plastic.

According to the company, the move is “continuing our consistent efforts to reduce our environmental impact and champion the movement towards a more sustainable Jamaica.”

WISYNCO, in a release Friday, said that since the introduction of the WATA brand in 2002 the company has continued to invest in revolutionising its packaging.
