In our previous blog, we highlighted the situation that has arisen regarding Recycled Rubbish. However, just two of many major companies have vowed to become even more environmentally friendly.
These are their stories…
Coca-Cola plans to double the recycled plastic in its bottles from 25% to 50% by 2020. Meaning this change comes amid growing pressure on manufacturers to reduce environmental harm. Every minute, people buy one million plastic bottles worldwide, and Coca-Cola produces around 100 billion annually. By increasing recycled waste in its packaging, the company aims to reduce landfill and pollution. Also consumers demand real change, and Coca-Cola is responding. Although this isn’t a complete fix, it represents solid progress. Consequently, more brands must follow suit and commit to using recycled waste in their products.
Coca-Cola plans to invest millions in buying recycled plastic from a top UK recycling facility. Its brands include Fanta, Sprite, Oasis, Lilt, Schweppes, and the classic cola drink. To meet its 50% recycled plastic target, the company will source materials from a plant in Lincolnshire. This site is Europe’s largest and most advanced plastic bottle recycling facility. By investing locally, Coca-Cola supports UK recycling and reduces its environmental footprint. Clearly, the brand is taking action to meet growing demand for greener packaging. With this step, Coca-Cola pushes recycled waste into the spotlight. It means a Coca-Cola bottle could be recycled and returned to the shelf in its new form within six weeks.
The tech firm said work is well underway towards its pledge to make its products with zero environmental impact.
Apple has announced a bold goal: to build all iPhones, iPads, and other products using only renewable or recycled materials. Currently, the company still relies on mining, but ultimately aims to stop taking new materials from the earth. In its latest environmental report, Apple confirmed progress toward a “closed-loop supply chain.” In other words, it wants to reuse everything it needs, avoiding new extraction entirely.
Although this goal is ambitious, Apple says the work is well underway. With continued effort, the company hopes to eliminate environmental impact from its product manufacturing process.
Although many more companies are doing there bit as well. Read on…
