According to foreign media reports, starting from September this year, Coca Cola's 58 year old beverage Sprite will replace all of its iconic green bottles with more easily recyclable transparent plastic bottles, as the process of mechanically recycling green bottles back into transparent bottles is difficult.
At present, all Sprite bottles are 100% recyclable, but the process of mechanically recycling green bottles into transparent bottles is difficult. Coca Cola has decided to switch to transparent plastic bottles for all bottles. According to reports, Coca Cola has promised to use 50% renewable plastic in Sprite plastic bottles by early 2020.
