In 2023, the company used 27% recycled materials in primary packaging globally, and of the PET used, 17% was recycled resin. Although the total is well below the 2030 target of 50%, Coca-Cola increased its recycled materials usage by 5 percentage points over 2021, and by 2 points over 2022. The share of RPET used has increased by 4 and 2 points, respectively, from 2021 and 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Of the company\u2019s total packaging, plastic bottles \u2013 mostly PET \u2013 represent 47.7%, while aluminum and steel bottles and cans account for 26%. Although the company aims to reduce consumption of virgin plastic by a cumulative 3 million metric tons between 2020 and 2025, it did not reduce this use in 2020-2023, citing business growth. In 2020 sale volumes of beverages bottled in PET fell amid the pandemic-related absence of events and travel, but in 2021-2023, Coca-Cola reported strong growth in Latin America and Asia.<\/p>\n<p>In October 2023, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation reported that big-name brands\u2019 increased use of virgin plastic had been offsetting the overall reduction achieved by other reporting companies. In the U.S. in particular, RPET is typically far more expensive than virgin resin, and in 2023 and early 2024, widely available imported virgin resin made competition nearly impossible for domestic recyclers, especially amid the absence of recycling mandates.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/resource-recycling.com\/plastics\/2024\/09\/18\/coca-cola-lags-on-progress-toward-2030-plastics-goals\/\">Resource Recycling<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-599\/\">Coca-Cola lags on progress toward 2030 plastics goals<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","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":[2848,575,16154],"class_list":["post-133818","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-coca-cola","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-plastic-goal"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133818","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133818"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133818\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133818"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133818"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133818"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
