Every Empty Bottle is Full of Potential
That Coke in your hand right now belongs to you. You bought it, you're drinking it, it's yours. The inside, that is. But the outside? We'd like that back. Plastic bottles can be recycled into so many things: backpacks, t-shirts, rugs...even new bottles. So when yours is empty, please Give It Back®.
Why Should You Give It Back®?
It takes only 5 to 14 20oz PET bottles to make one XL T-shirt! 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!The approximate value of aluminum and PET wasted each year in the US alone is $1.5 billion!
When you Give It Back®, you're helping Coca-Cola meet the goal of recycling or reusing even more of our bottles and cans in the U.S. Thanks!
