The drinks company\u2019s warning follows Trump\u2019s introduction of 25% tariffs on foreign steel and aluminium entering the US, which could push up the prices of canned food and drink.<\/p>\n<p>Coca-Cola\u2019s chief executive, James Quincey, said it imports aluminium for its drinks cans from Canada, meaning it is looking for ways to mitigate any price rises resulting from the tariffs and could be forced to switch to plastic bottles. The Coca-Cola boss, however, also sought to play down the potential impact of tariffs on the business, saying that packaging accounted for only a small part of total costs.<\/p>\n<p>Coca-Cola has previously been found to be among the world\u2019s most polluting brands when it comes to plastic waste, according to researchers and environmental groups. It has gradually increased the volume of its drinks sold in aluminium cans in recent years, as part of its sustainability targets. However, only just over a quarter (26%) of its drinks were sold in aluminium and steel containers in 2023, according to the company\u2019s most recent environmental update, a slight increase on the previous two years. Meanwhile, almost half (47.7%) of its beverages were sold in plastic bottles in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/business\/2025\/feb\/12\/coca-cola-says-trump-tariffs-could-force-it-to-increase-use-of-plastic-in-us\">Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-667\/\">Coca-Cola says Trump tariffs could force it to increase use of plastic in US<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[2848,575,694,3873],"class_list":["post-137346","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-coca-cola","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-plastic","tag-trump"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137346","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137346"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137346\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137346"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
