Recycled PET can be converted to fibres, fabrics, sheets for packaging, and manufacturing automotive parts. This means the new PET plastic Coca-Cola bottles can be reused up to 14 times, after which it can be recycled and made into new bottles.
The recommended retail price for a 2L Coca-Cola Original Taste Less Sugar product is R24, but this drops to R15 when the bottle is returned.
Coca-Cola No Sugar, Sprite, and Fanta are also be available in the new 2L returnable PET plastic bottle at a recommended retail price of R12 excluding the R9 deposit.
The returnable Coca-Cola bottles are labelled with a new paper label which has “RETURNABLE” stamped in green text on the front.
