Coca-Cola recently launched 100 per cent recycled plastic PET bottles in Singapore and Malaysia, paving the way for other companies to reduce virgin plastic waste. But critics say the beverage behemoth must still address its plastic footprint by reducing production.
Shea Flynn, Coca-Cola’s director of sustainable packaging policy & partnerships in ASEAN & South Pacific, shares more.
