Coca-Cola, a brand of Atlanta-based The Coca-Cola Co., announced a partnership with Lime, the world’s leading provider of shared electric vehicles, to reward people who are committed to recycling. To celebrate the nationwide availability of Coca-Cola Sip Sized bottles made from 100% recycled plastic material (rPET), not including the bottles’ cap and label, the companies are offering more than 40,000 free bike or e-scooter rides to people who purchase and pledge to recycle their 13.2-ounce 100% rPET Coca-Cola bottles.
Sustainable packaging has become important to more consumers; however, a better understanding of recycling and materials will help connect shoppers with beverage brands adopting this packaging attribute.
The Sidel Group introduced its StarLITE HPC base solution, which is designed to increase the stability of flat PET and rPET containers by up to 25%, it says.
The Sidel Group’s art designers present NUUK, a new recycled PET (rPET) water bottle concept, drawing inspiration from the purity of ice and its unique formations, the company says.
The Coca-Cola Co. is showing its dedication to a sustainable future and protecting the planet through its World Without Waste initiative, which launched in 2018. Most recently, the company announced the launch of a 100 percent recycled PET bottle.
