Did you know that Coca-Cola is now making plastic bottles containing 30% plant material? Coca-Cola having already launched them in a number of countries from Brazil to Sweden, has also launched them here.
With the launch here in the UK this will keep Coca-Cola on-track with their predicted 5 million roll-out in 2011.
Coca-Cola’s PlantBottle gives them a lighter footprint; it was awarded as Best New Product – sustainable Packaging by the Edison Awards 2011 and as winner of Dupont’s Packaging Innovation award.
This story was reported by eFIG member Plantforce in their newsletter at the same time spreading the word about their own ‘light footprint’ using glass fibre containers which are made from recycled glass.
