Coca-Cola, leading plastic polluter, says it will sell some 100% recycled bottles in US

Coca-Cola, one of the world’s worst plastic polluters, is rolling out its first-ever 100 per cent recycled plastic bottle in the US.

The company announced that it will begin selling Coca-Cola brands in the 13.2-oz bottle made from recycled PET plastic in California, Florida and some states in the Northeast. Other fizzy drinks and waters will be sold in the recycled bottles this summer.

The Coca-Cola Company was ranked as the world’s top plastic polluter for the third year running alongside PepsiCo and Nestle, according to the 2020 audit from Break Free From Plastic.

I feel that what really matters is that things are changing for the better. We can argue it is better late than never however change is happening and leading brands are committed to using recycled plastic.
