Coca-Cola’s PlantBottle Beverage Packages Available Nationwide

Coca-Cola’s 100 percent recyclable plant-derived packages for Dasani and Odwalla are now available in the U.S.  The new PlantBottle packaging for single servings of Odwalla is made from up to 100 percent plant-based materials with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic. HDPE plastic is created using only ethylene, which is derived from 100 percent renewable sugarcane-based ethanol.  Bottles for Dasani are made with up to 30 percent plant-based materials. According to Coca-Cola, in 2010 more than 2.5 billion PlantBottle packages were available across nine countries, a number that is expected to double to more than five billion PlantBottle packages in more than 15 countries.
