Coca-Cola Faces Backlash for Easing Environmental Commitments
TL;DR
Coca-Cola has revised its environmental goals, shifting focus from reducing single-use plastics to increasing the use of recycled materials. The company now aims to use 30-35% recycled plastic in packaging by 2035 and to collect 70-75% of bottles and cans introduced annually. This change comes shortly after the failure of U.N. global plastics treaty negotiations.
