would also refrain from using green imagery such as a closed recycling loop on its bottles \u2014 a logo BEUC had flagged as misleading in its original complaint as such images promoted \u201cthe false idea of environmental neutrality.\u201d The soft drink manufacturer said it would encourage consumers to responsibly dispose of used products\u2019 packaging, especially those components that can be recycled, but said it would edit the call to action on its labels to \u201cRecycle me\u201d and drop the word \u201cagain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The BEUC said Coca-Cola was the first company to volunteer to change its recycling claims and labels since the original complaint was filed. \u201cIt is good news that Coca-Cola has heeded consumers\u2019 call and commits to clarify that its \u2018100%\u2019 recycling claims only apply to parts of the bottle,\u201d BEUC Director General Agust\u00edn Reyna said in a May 6 release. \u201cAffirming that a bottle is 100% recycled or recyclable is outright misleading and should stop, just as green imagery [that gives] the wrong impression that plastic drink bottles have zero impact on the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reyna added that the consumer companies \u201cexpect authorities to monitor if Coca-Cola turns their words into deeds and to take strong measures if this is not the case.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a
