WORLD WITHOUT WASTE

TAKING ACTION ON SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING

The interconnected global challenges of packaging waste and climate change are a focus for our business and communities. We recognise the world has a packaging problem and together with our bottling partners we have a responsibility to help solve it.

Our global sustainable packaging strategy, ‘World Without Waste’ aims to create systemic change through supporting a circular economy for our packaging in every market where we operate.

We globally launched World Without Waste in 2018​ which centers around three primary goals:

Sprite green goes clear for recycling

After nearly 60 years in New Zealand, Sprite’s iconic green plastic bottles switched to clear plastic, making them easier to recycle into new bottles locally.

The switch from green to clear Sprite bottles will increase the likelihood of these bottles being remade into new bottles, meaning that they can have more than one life.

Using recycled plastic to make our bottles

In 2019, we transitioned of all single-serve bottles to 100% rPET (the term used for recycled PET) in New Zealand. This means that all of our plastic bottles under 1 litre and all of our water bottles in all sizes are made with 100% recycled plastic (excluding caps and labels).

Tackling marine litter with partners

With some of the most breathtaking coastline in the world, it’s easy to see why New Zealanders are passionate about the ocean, and deeply concerned about marine debris and other plastic that ends up in it. Right now, our packaging is part of the problem.

How to recycle

Used and empty cans and bottles aren’t done when you are. We can help prevent them becoming waste by recycling them and helping them have another life.
