Recycling initiatives

Our paper-based carton packages are already recyclable where adequate collection, sorting and recycling infrastructures are in place. In places where collection infrastructure is still being built up, we’re co-investing with recyclers in new equipment and facilities to increase recycling capacity.

Help reduce litter with tethered caps

Tethered caps can help reduce litter and improve recycling rates. Compared to loose caps, tethered caps stay attached to the package, making them easier to sort and recycle. Since 2019, we've delivered over 3 billion tethered caps, and we continue to innovate with plant-based options made from sugarcane-based polymers and certified recycled polymers.
