Green Coca-Cola Bottles


I heard great news today!  Consumer demand and the trend toward sustainability has led to the announcement by Coca-Cola to launch a line of bottles made with plant-based materials.  This action on Coke's part will significantly reduce the amount of plastic used in their products. The new PlantBottles blend as much as 30% plant-based materials derived from sugar cane and molasses with conventional petroleum-based materials. The bottles will first appear in West Coast cities, Denmark and Western Canada, though the company aims to move to worldwide distribution and, eventually, bottles made entirely of plant-based materials.  You can read the article at:
