Plastic Bank’s Partnership with Coca Cola
Plastic Bank partners with Coca-Cola Philippines, aligning with their sustainability initiatives in reducing plastic waste.
Since 1886, Coca-Cola has been committed to working towards solutions for a better and thriving tomorrow. In the Philippines, Coca-Cola has been refreshing Filipinos for more than 110 years and continues to deliver on its company purpose – to refresh the world and make a difference. As part of the company’s global sustainable packaging solutions, the company is working towards the goals of having 100% of packaging being recyclable globally by 2025—and to use at least 50% recycled material in their packaging by 2030. Further Coca-Cola is expanding the number of products that use 100% recycled PET plastic packaging in 2022.
Original taste and sustainability in the same bottle
As a leading global beverage company, Coca-Cola has a responsibility to help solve the global plastic waste crisis. Today, food and beverage packaging often ends up in places where it should not be – including our oceans, rivers, and landfills. As part of the World Without Waste vision of Coca-Cola, the company aims to help collect and recycle the equivalent of every bottle it sells globally by 2030.
Coca-Cola Philippines has partnered with Plastic Bank to prevent 200,000 kg of plastic from entering the ocean in 2022 while helping improve the livelihoods of communities that rely on waste collection.
“When we shared our World Without Waste roadmap for the Philippines three years ago, we recognized it was an ambitious goal. But, together with fellow businesses, recyclers, government agencies, NGOs, and community organizations in the Philippines, we have made progress. There’s still a lot more to do and we are energized by the prospect of creating a circular economy for recyclable PET plastic here in the Philippines.”

“Plastic Bank Philippines is privileged to have Coca-Cola Philippines to be part of its family. Through our ecosystem activation partnership, our advocacy to stop ocean plastic has strengthened, and helped empower more communities.”
