Coca-Cola has launched 100% recycled plastic bottles across Canada. All 500-mL sparkling beverages bottles sold by The Coca-Cola Company in Canada will be made with 100% recycled plastic (excluding caps and labels) by early 2024. The company is the first to launch multiple sparkling beverages in 100% recycled plastic bottles across Canada.
“This means that no virgin PET plastic will be used for our sparkling 500mL bottles under normal circumstances going forward in Canada,” said Kurt Ritter, Vice President & General Manager, Sustainability, Coca-Cola North America. “We hope that transitioning our 500mL sparkling portfolio to 100% recycled plastic will ultimately enable us to offer more of our brands in this sustainable format.”
