Coca-Cola Sweden has announced that, beginning in 2020, it will make all of its plastic bottles from 100% recycled material, becoming the first country worldwide to do so. The transition will begin in the Q1-20 and includes all PET packaging made at Coca-Cola’s bottling plant in Jordbro.

By switching to 100% recycled material in its bottles, Coca-Cola Sweden expects to eliminate the use of 3,500 tons of virgin plastic each year. This will also result in an annual reduction in CO2 emissions of 25% over pre-transition levels, when the portfolio comprised approximately 40% rPET. The move to 100% rPET bottles includes the brands Coca-Cola, Fanta, and Sprite as well as Bonaqua water, comprising 40 different variants.
