Honest, Glacéau Smartwater and Chaudfontaine bottles to be made from 100% rPET
Coca-Cola European Partners (CCEP), together with The Coca-Cola Company, announced that its Honest, Glacéau Smartwater and Chaudfontaine brands will all be sold in bottles made from 100% recycled PET (rPET). They will transition between the end of 2019 and 2020, intended to replace 9,000 tonnes of virgin plastic per year across Western Europe.
This move is claimed to directly support CCEP and The Coca-Cola Company’s commitment that, by 2025, at least half of the plastic used in its PET bottles across Western Europe will come from recycled sources.
CCEP is also announcing that it is transitioning Sprite from a green PET bottle to a clear PET pack, which can more easily be recycled bottle to bottle.
