Coke takes a new line

COCA-COLA in Australia is changing the way its plastic bottles are made.

The world’s largest beverage company announced yesterday that 70 per cent of its plastic bottles manufactured in Australia will be made from 100 per cent recycled plastic by the end of 2019.

Coca-Cola Australia and Coca-Cola Amatil announced the move as part of a larger commitment to ensure that by 2030, 50 per cent of the global company’s products will be made from recycled plastic.
