Say goodbye to the green bottles.
- Sprite has been recognized for its green cans and bottles for decades, but that packaging is changing.
Coca-Cola announced Wednesday it’s retiring Sprite’s green plastic bottles for more environmentally-friendly clear ones. Sprite’s current plastic contains green polyethylene terephthalate, an additive that can’t be recycled, but the clear bottles will be able to be recycled into new ones.Other Coke beverages, including Fresca, Seagram’s and Mello Yello, will also be replaced with clear containers in the coming months.
With the changes, Coke said it’s projected to reduce about 20 million pounds of new plastic waste compared to 2019.
