In an effort to reduce its use of new plastic, beverage giant Coca-Cola Co. has unveiled a new 13.2-ounce bottle made from 100 per cent recycled PET (rPET).

The 13.2-ounce rPET bottle – the first-ever Coca-Cola package made from 100 per cent rPET in the U.S. – will be available beginning in February at convenience stores in the Northeast U.S., as well as the states of Florida and California. The new bottle design will be used for Coke, Diet Coke, and Coke Zero Sugar and then go nationwide this summer. Select markets will also get Sprite in rPET bottles this month; and all Sprite packaging will transition to clear packaging, which is easier to be recycled and remade into new bottles, by the end of 2022.
