This comprehensive segment encompasses both recycling initiatives and packaging that now integrates more recycled content. The advent of packaging taxes, influencing packaging recycling, is on the horizon. The U.K. has already set this in motion in April 2022, implementing a tax on plastic packaging with less than 30% recycled content. These activities inevitably drive the demand for packaging reduction efforts.

Global beverage giant Coca-Cola is to introduce 100% recycled plastic bottles in Canada. From early 2024, all 500ml carbonated beverage bottles offered by the company will be made of 100% recycled plastic, excluding the bottles’ caps and labels. The move is expected to prevent 7.6 million pounds (3,447 metric tons) of new plastic from being produced in 2024 alone while also reducing approximately 7,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually. All the company’s 100% recycled plastic bottles will feature the ‘Recycle Me Again’ message to further remind its consumers. The transition to 100% recycled plastic bottles is in line with the company’s ‘World Without Waste’ target, which seeks to leverage at least 50% recycled content in its packaging by 2030 and to significantly reduce virgin plastic usage. The new bottles will be manufactured by family-owned Canadian business Coke Canada Bottling at its facilities in Brampton, Ontario; Calgary, Alberta; Lachine, Quebec, and Richmond, British Columbia.
