At the National Association of Convenience Stores’ NACS Show in Atlanta, the two companies announced a joint effort that will facilitate the manufacturing of beverage cooler components from specially processed post-consumer recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) bottles.
“Our commitment as a global supplier of beverage coolers is to design and produce innovative products that aim to reduce the impact on the environment,” said Petros Diamantides, CEO, Frigoglass. “Our collaboration with Coca-Cola Recycling is another milestone in our effort to promote sustainable development in our operations.”
“We envision a world where used beverage containers are not seen as waste, but as valuable resources that can be used over and over again to manufacture new products,” said John Burgess, president of Coca-Cola Recycling. “We’re pleased to work with Frigoglass in bringing that vision to life with cooler components made from recycled PET plastic bottles.”
