Coca-Cola Unveils 25% Recycled Marine PET Bottle

摘要

On Oct. 3, Coca-Cola unveiled its first ever sample bottle made using recovered and recycled marine plastics, again demonstrating that ocean debris could be a recycled source material in packaging for food or drinks. Through a partnership between Ioniqa Technologies, Indorama Ventures, Mares Circulares (Circular Seas), and The Coca-Cola Company, about 300 sample bottles were made using 25% recycled marine plastic retrieved from the Mediterranean Sea and beaches. The bottles were designed and devel-oped to show the trans-formational potential of revolutionary enhanced recycling technologies, which can recycle previously used PET plastics of any quality back to high-quality plastic that can be used for food or drink packaging, including material that would previously have been sent to incineration or landfill.
