Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, Coca-Cola’s biggest European bottler, is funding a startup in the Netherlands which will produce food-grade recycled plastics from other plastics that typically are sent to landfills or incinerators. Those plastics include films, trays, clothing, and colored packaging.
“This new technology is critical to improve access to recycled material for bottles,” said Wouter Vermeulen, Coca-Cola’s senior director of sustainability and public policy in Europe. “The Coca-Cola system is committed to reducing our dependency on oil for producing virgin packaging materials and promoting recycling.”
