WASHINGTON, D. C., May 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Despite its commitment to increase the overall share of its products sold in reusable packaging to 25% by 2030, The Coca-Cola Company's share of products sold in reusable packaging declined in 2022. The company, in its latest sustainability report, announced that the share of its products sold in reusable containers was 14% in 2022. This is a decline of two percentage points from the 16% share disclosed when the company announced its pledge last year. Oceana estimates, based on the company’s total reported volume of sales, that the reported two percentage point decline in share could mean Coca-Cola instead produced the equivalent of an additional 5.8 billion 500ml (16.9 US fl. oz) single-use plastic bottles and cups over the last two years in place of reusable packaging.1

Key Points:

oz) single-use plastic bottles and cups over the last two years in place of reusable packaging.1
The company did not highlight the decline nor explain it in its sustainability report.
The Coca-Cola Company – in its sustainability report – also reported that its overall use of plastic packaging and virgin plastic increased in 2022.
Coca-Cola FEMSA has reported that by using refillable bottles, greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced by up to 47% compared to single-use plastic bottles.
By doing so, these beverage and bottling giants can prevent billions of single-use plastic bottles and cups from entering our oceans.
