World Without Waste: Coca-Cola Introduces 100% Recycled rPET Bottles

Coca-Cola Beverages Northeast, as part of the company’s progress towards its World Without Waste goals, has introduced 100% recycled rPET bottles. This will help create and sustain a circular economy. It will also ensure that plastic waste is being recycled and reused.

This innovation, the rPET bottles, contributes to Coca-Cola’s World Without Waste goals to address global challenges of packaging waste and climate change through effective systemic changes. Coca-Cola aims to use 50% recycled content in its packaging by 2030 and reduce the use of virgin plastic derived from non-renewable sources by a cumulative three million metric tons by 2025.

Sussannah Smith, Senior Director of Public Affairs & Communications, said they have the responsibility to help solve the global plastic packaging waste crisis. “As a leader in the beverage industry, we need to act as a model for responsible behavior with regard to sustainability and to help reduce plastic waste globally. Together with our partners from The Coca-Cola Company, we are proud to launch this new line within the Northeast market.”
