Coca-Cola Set to Reduce Plastic Pollution with New Bottle Design

Last month, Coke announced a new design of packaging where the cap stays attached to the bottle, making it easier for consumers to recycle the entire package rather than littering or discarding the individual caps. By 2024, all plastic Coke bottles in the U.K. will adopt this design and set to eventually phase across Europe. This is all part of Coke’s initiative to solve the growing plastic crisis, in which they have announced plans to use at least 50% of recycled material in their packaging by 2030. While this is a small change (and in my opinion, I think Coke can do a lot more seeing they are a massive contributor to plastic pollution), it is still a step forward in the right direction, and can encourage other companies to start making adjustments. Any kind of climate action, small or large, is still action at the end of the day, bringing us closer to fighting this climate crisis. https://www.wsj.com/articles/coca-cola-introducing-bottles-with-caps-that-stay-attached-11652824151

      This is a very negligible step taken by a company whose amount of littered plastic bottles choking and killing marine life are higher than any other.I wonder what makes it difficult for Coca-Cola to fully adopt their already existing glass bottles that are I guess are up to a litter in capacity or scout for other better alternatives. Attaching the cap to the bottle could have been relevant if it was done ages ago other than now.,what's needed now is a complete face-off of plastics if possible.

        It's a nice idea that baby steps are allowed as long as they are going to find alternatives for the plastic bottles in the long run
