This figure marks a 40% increase from the company\u2019s 2018 plastic usage and a 20% rise compared to its 2023 figures. The report, titled \u2018Coca-Cola\u2019s World With Waste\u2019, also predicts that up to 1.3 billion pounds of the plastic packaging used by Coca-Cola could enter the world\u2019s waterways and oceans each year by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>This volume of waste could fill the stomachs of more than 18 million blue whales, the report claims. Oceana\u2019s report says if Coca-Cola increased its reusable packaging to 26.4% by 2030, compared to 10.2% in 2023, it could lower its yearly plastic consumption below present levels. Reusable plastic bottles can typically be used up to 25 times, and glass bottles up to 50 times, significantly reducing the need for single-use packaging, according to the report.<\/p>\n<p>As per the report, each Coca-Cola reusable bottle would prevent the creation of up to 49 additional single-use plastic bottles, offering a potential solution. Despite the growing scrutiny over its plastic usage, Coca-Cola discarded its goal to increase reusable packaging to 25% of its sales by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.packaging-gateway.com\/news\/coca-colas-plastic-usage\/\">Packaging Gateway<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-686\/\">Coca-Cola\u2019s plastic usage to reportedly exceed 9.1 billion pounds by 2030<\/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":[600,2848,575,7149],"class_list":["post-138624","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-bottle","tag-coca-cola","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-plastic-consumption"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138624","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=138624"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138624\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
