At America’s beverage companies – The Coca-Cola Company, Keurig Dr Pepper and PepsiCo – we’re now making bottles from 100% recycled plastic. And when we get more bottles back, we can use less new plastic.
Made to Be
Remade
Our bottles and cans aren’t meant to be waste. We’re carefully designing fully recyclable plastic bottles and making more from 100% recycled plastic. When we get more bottles back, we can use less new plastic.
Not all plastic is the same. We make our bottles from PET, the most recycled and recyclable plastic available.
Aluminum can be recycled over and over again, forever, making cans an important part of our efforts to use less new material.
America’s beverage companies are investing in communities to collect more of our valuable bottles and cans and increase the amount of recycled material we can use to make new containers. Through our Every Bottle Back initiative, we’re leveraging the equivalent of nearly half-a-billion dollars to supply households with curbside recycling carts, upgrade recycling technology and provide education to communities where we can have the greatest impact.
From how our containers are designed and manufactured to how they’re collected, recycled and remade, our efforts are making a real difference. And we’ll continue to innovate and measure our progress along the way.
