Coca-Cola expands PlantBottle reach, launches 100% plant-based HDPE

Just in time for Earth Month, The Coca-Cola Co. has announced that all of its Dasani brand water bottles nationwide and Odwalla single-serving juice bottles will be available exclusively in PlantBottle® packaging.

The single-serve Odwalla packages are made from up to 100% plant-based high-density polyethylene plastic, while PET bottles for Dasani are made with up to 30% plant-based materials.

According to Coca-Cola, in 2010, more than 2.5 billion PlantBottle packages were available across nine countries. For 2011, that number is expected to double to more than 5 billion in more than 15 countries.
