It comes after Trump ordered a 25% import tax on all steel and aluminium entering the US, which could end up driving up the price of canned food and drink items in the country.<\/p>\n<p>In December, the beverage giant scaled down its sustainability target of using 50% recycled materials in its packaging by 2030, to using 35% to 40% by 2035.Environmental groups have labelled Coca-Cola as the &#8221;top global plastic polluter&#8221; for six consecutive years. &#8221;If one package suffers some increase in input costs, we continue to have other packaging offerings that will allow us to compete in the affordability space,&#8221; Quincey said. &#8221;For example, if aluminium cans become more expensive, we can put more emphasis on PET [plastic] bottles&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The Coca-Cola boss also sought to minimise the impact of the tariffs on his business saying packaging is only a relatively small component of his company&#8217;s costs. In recent years, Coca-Cola had been selling more products in aluminium containers as part of its marketing and sustainability strategies.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being generally more expensive, aluminium cans are also a lot more recyclable than plastic bottles over time. The US imports almost half of the aluminium it uses, according to the United States Geological Survey, so a 25% tariff on all imports is likely to cause cans to become even more costly. After Trump first ordered tariffs on steel in 2018, many can-makers won &#8221;exclusions&#8221; from those import taxes. But this time, Trump has said there will be no exemptions from the rules either for individual products or for particular countries.<\/p>\n<p>In a separate move that is likely to contribute to plastic pollution, Trump signed an executive order earlier this week ending a US government effort to replace plastic straws with paper. The order reversed a measure signed by former President Joe Biden, who had called plastic pollution a &#8221;crisis&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c3vp4dp90qqo\">BBC<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/coca-cola-says-it-may-use-more-plastic-due-to-trump-tariffs-2\/\">Coca-Cola says it may use more plastic due to Trump tariffs<\/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":[17884,555,3873],"class_list":["post-137324","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-coca-cola-says-it-may-use-more-plastic","tag-csr-news-en","tag-trump"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137324","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=137324"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137324\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
