Sprite is changing its packaging from green to clear plastic beginning Aug. 1 as part of broader efforts to become more environmentally responsible.
Coca-Cola said Wednesday it's changing the packaging from green to clear plastic beginning August 1 as part of broader efforts to become more environmentally responsible. Sprite's current plastic contains green polyethylene terephthalate , an additive that can't be recycled into new bottles, a key initiative for the company as it looks to reduce plastic waste.

The well-known green hue will still be used on Sprite labels. Coca-Cola reported higher-than-expected second-quarter earnings Tuesday, citing strong demand, and lifted its revenue forecast for the full year.
In 2018, Coke announced its "World Without Waste" initiative with the ultimate goal of collecting and recycling one bottle or can for each one it sells by 2030. Part of that initiative included launching a new 13.2-ounce bottle last year that is made from 100% recycled plastic material.
