Although the Coca-Cola Company pledged in 2022 to reach 25% reusable packaging by 2030, CCEP — the world’s largest bottler and seller of Coca-Cola products — has yet to make a similar commitment.
Oceana released the following statement from Matt Littlejohn, Oceana’s Senior Vice President:
“Plastic is devastating our oceans and Coca-Cola is the world’s top plastic polluter according to survey results published by the Break Free From Plastic Movement. In order for Coca-Cola to meet its reusable commitment, it needs support from its bottlers, especially CCEP. If the Coca-Cola Company meets its commitment, it could, by 2030, eliminate the cumulative equivalent of over 100 billion 500 ml single-use plastic bottles and cups and prevent up to 14.7 billion of these plastic containers from entering our waterways and seas.
