Helping to reduce Packaging Waste
Our company offers beverages in a variety of packaging formats – glass and plastic bottles, aluminium cans and refillable packaging. Each option can play a role in helping reduce packaging waste and emissions.
We are focusing efforts to use more recycled material in our primary packaging and supporting collection rates, both of which require enabling policies and the growth of collection infrastructure.
We aim to focus on measurable and interconnected actions under two pillars:
Design
Our goal is to use 35% to 40% recycled material* in our primary packaging (plastic, glass and aluminum), including increasing recycled plastic use to 30% to 35% globally, by 2035.
Partner to Collect
Help ensure the collection of 70% to 75% of the equivalent number of bottles and cans introduced into the market annually by 2025
