Sprite will no longer be sold in green bottles 

After more than 60 years, Sprite will stop producing its green plastic bottles.

Coca-Cola announced on Wednesday that, as part of broader efforts to become more ecologically conscious, it will switch its packaging from green to clear plastic starting on August 1. The company's primary endeavour to limit plastic waste is the use of green polyethylene terephthalate (PET), an ingredient that cannot be recycled into new bottles, in Sprite's existing plastic.

"Taking colors out of bottles improves the quality of the recycled material," Julian Ochoa, CEO of RECYCLE, a plastic group helping Coca-Cola improve its recycling, said in a statement. "When recycled, clear PET Sprite bottles can be remade into bottles, helping drive a circular economy for plastic."

to provide a more "consistent look and voice around the world," the company said. Sprite labels will continue to use the recognisable green colour.

In the upcoming months, clear bottles will also replace the green bottles currently used by other beverages in Coke's portfolio, such as Fresca, Seagram's, and Mello Yello.

Tuesday, Coca-Cola (KO) announced second-quarter earnings that were better than expected, citing strong demand, and increased its full-year revenue projection.

The beverage juggernaut has received a lot of flak for adding to plastic waste that harms the environment. The business was identified by the environmental organisation Break Free From Plastic as the top plastic polluter in the world in 2020. Its branding and insignia were visible on 13,834 pieces of used plastic that were dumped in 51 different nations, sometimes in public areas like parks and beaches.

By 2030, Coke wants to collect and recycle one bottle or can for every one it sells. To that end, Coke announced its "World Without Waste" initiative in 2018. A 13.2-ounce bottle made entirely of recycled plastic was introduced as a part of that project last year.

The business also disclosed on Wednesday that most Dasani bottles sold in the US and Canada will now be made entirely of recycled plastic. According to Coke, this innovation is anticipated to minimise new plastic trash generation by about 20 million pounds compared to 2019.
