SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING

Business is important, but not at any cost. People matter. Our planet matters. We do business the right way by following our values and working toward solutions that benefit us all.

Focusing on a World Without Waste

We aim to collect and recycle a bottle or can for every one we sell and make 100% of our packaging recyclable. By lightweighting our packaging, increasing recycled content, focusing on refillable, fountain and Coca‑Cola Freestyle solutions, and investing in local recycling programs, we’re helping create a #WorldWithoutWaste.

Design

Our World Without Waste ambitions: Make 100% of our packaging recyclable globally by 2025; Use at least 50% recycled materials in our packaging by 2030. Bonaqua®, a much-loved water brand in Hong Kong, started its sustainability journey more than a decade ago, introducing the first lightweight PET bottle in 2010.

Sustainable packaging innovation

We introduced the first locally produced, 100% rPET label-less bottle, for Bonaqua® mineralized water in 2022. Highlights of other sustainable innovations: Sprite® switching from the iconic green to clear PET bottles, helping to improve its recyclability.

Recycled material in packaging

25% rPET in selected sparkling PET bottles less than 600ml.

New aseptic production line to accelerate innovation and drive growth -16% less plastics are used in PET bottles compared to our previous hot-fill productions.

Collect

We continue to run programs and partner with NGOs, industry coalitions and peers to advance bottle collection and recycling.

We support New Life Plastics (Hong Kong’s first food-grade ready recycling plant), a joint venture of Swire Coca‑Cola.
