Coca-Cola now wants to change this and is therefore launching a new 360-degree sustainability campaign this week. The campaign shows in a playful way and with prominent support why the recycling cycle of non-returnable PET bottles and the reuse of returnable PET bottles are so important. During the campaign, Germany's largest supplier of non-alcoholic soft drinks is raising awareness of the differences and benefits of reusable PET bottles. <strong>the importance of returnable PET and 100 per cent rPET disposable bottles<\/strong> and shows that there is the right packaging for every drinking occasion.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Packaging mix for diversity and a sustainable resource cycle<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>For Coca-Cola, packaging is one of the biggest levers for reducing its carbon footprint. All Coca-Cola packaging made of PET, glass and aluminium is already 99.1 percent recyclable. For example <strong>PET returnable bottles are refilled an average of 15 times.<\/strong> They are also bottled regionally - at nine out of 14 Coca-Cola locations. This ensures short transport routes. Even disposable PET bottles can have a new life if they are kept in the cycle. A bottle made from recycled PET has a CO2 footprint that is up to 50 per cent lower than a bottle made from new material. <strong>Both variants therefore contribute to a sparing use of resources.<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"packa-in-post-alle\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"packa-278003910\"><div id=\"packa-1234934431\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/newsletter\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"PJ Self-promotion English 03\"><!--noptimize--><img src=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png 840w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-300x75.png 300w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-768x192.png 768w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-18x5.png 18w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-332x83.png 332w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-664x166.png 664w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-688x172.png 688w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" width=\"840\" height=\"210\"  style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><!--\/noptimize--><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<p>This is why Coca-Cola is committed to turning disposable PET bottles back into bottles.
