Reuse

We are working to advance technologies that allow us to use greater amounts of recycled materials in our packaging.

More than half of the metal in our aluminum cans is recycled. Since introducing the first-ever beverage container with recycled PET in 1991, we have continued to invest significant dollars in development of environmentally and economically viable recycling technologies. Today, we lead the industry in the innovative use of recycled plastic. Learn how we create value through sustainable fashion.

The Coca-Cola Company is using recycled content PET in more than 17 markets around the world. Recycling plastic for reuse yields financial benefits, requires less energy than producing bottles with virgin materials, and reduces waste and greenhouse gases. Read about our community recycling programs.

We also invested in building PET recycling plants that produce bottles from recycled content in Australia, Austria, Mexico, the Phillippines, Switzerland and the United States.

Our plant in the United States will be the world's largest plastic bottle to bottle recycling plant with capacity to produce approximately 100 million pounds of food grade recycled PET plastic for reuse each year -- the equivalent of producing nearly 2 billion 20 ounce Coca-Cola bottles.
