Coca-Cola is moving to attached caps across its entire drinks range in an effort to boost recycling and prevent litter. The move by Coca-Cola Great Britain, which it said is a first for a major soft drinks company, aims to make it easier for consumers to recycle the entire package.
Consumers will start to see the change on 1.5 litre bottles of Fanta, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and Diet Coke in Scotland this month. The switch is set to be completed for all plastic bottles across the range of brands by early 2024.
The caps are often discarded and littered despite all of Coca-Cola’s bottles, including the caps, being 100% recyclable. Coca-Cola Great Britain general manager Jon Woods said it hoped the "small change will have a big impact".
