Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) is boosting the environmental sustainability credentials of its carbonated soft drinks bottles with new lightweighted necks and attached caps.
In partnership with Coca-Cola Great Britain (CCGB), the transition to attached caps (also known as tethered caps) will cover the company’s entire brand portfolio, including Coca-Cola Original Taste, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Diet Coke, Fanta, Sprite, Dr Pepper and Lilt. The transition has begun this month in Scotland.Since 2008, CCEP has reduced the weight of its 500 ml PET bottles by 30% from 28.9 g to 19.9 g. The new lighter-weight neck design will remove a further 1 g of plastic per bottle, totaling 6,800 tons of plastic before 2025.
The move comes as part of Coca-Cola’s World Without Waste strategy, which includes limiting the impact of its packaging on the environment. CCEP aims to make all of its primary packaging recyclable, cut three million tons of virgin plastic from fossil-based sources by 2025, and replace hard-to-recycle materials with refill, dispenser and other solutions.
