Coca-Cola To Build US Bottle Recycling Plant

The Coca-Cola Co. is one of the largest companies in the whole world. Recently, the company has announced that they would be shelling out more than $60 million. That amount would serve as their investment – they would be creating the largest bottle recycling plant in the United States and in the rest of the world. They would be recycling both plastic bottles and glass bottles in this plant.Sandy Douglas is the president of Coca-Cola and Douglas states, “We have set an ambitious goal to recycle or reuse all the plastic bottles we use in the U.S. market. Our investments in recycling infrastructure, coupled with our work on sustainable package design, will help us reach this target.”

Where will this recycling plant be built? The company claims that they would be constructing it in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The plant would be already open by next year and it would be operating fully by 2009. Something to look forward to, huh?
