Support Recycling | Coca-Cola

Recycling helps us get one step closer to protecting the environment. Here are just a few of the things we’re doing to support our commitment to recycling. Give It Back® The approximate value of aluminum and PET wasted each year in the US is $1.5 billion. Plastic bottles and cans are valuable materials that can be recycled into so many things: backpacks, t-shirts, rugs...even new bottles. Did you know...It takes 95% less energy to make a can from recycled aluminum versus virgin aluminum?Recycling plastic for reuse requires less energy than producing bottles with virgin materials, and reduces waste and greenhouse gases. So when your bottle is empty, please Give It Back®. PlantBottle™ It’s our latest step towards our goal of zero waste... PlantBottle packaging. It is redesigned plastic composed of up to 30% plant-based material and is 100% recyclable! PlantBottle packaging helps reduce our dependence on non-renewable resources and in turn, will help us reduce our carbon footprint.
