Coca-Cola's Plastic Pollution Problem: Refillable Bottles Hold Key

Coca-Cola is the world's largest contributor of branded plastic pollution.

Despite repeated promises to prioritize sustainability, the company's plastic packaging use has grown by over 20% in the past five years.

The solution to this problem already exists: reusable, refillable glass bottles. These systems have operated worldwide for decades but have been replaced with single-use plastic bottles and cans in many countries.

Refillable bottles can be returned to bottling facilities, washed, and reused up to 50 times, preventing millions of disposable bottles from ending up in the environment.
