Aluminum is highly recyclable. So is glass. Paper, if they could make it work without the plastic liner would be okay but still not great because the material breaks down each time it is used to make a new material (which is not the same as recycling). A paper container with a plastic liner is even worse than 100% PET because separating the parts won’t be cost effective.
So . . . to make their bottles easier to recycle, they turned what was just plastic (relatively straightforward to recycle) into a combination of paper and plastic (which isn't worth a recycling processor's time to deal with and therefore would be sent straight to landfill). Congrats
This idea is very good I proud on you , people through bootle on road not in Dustbin i saw him and i feel so sad for our environment so i through rhe garbage in dustbin I proud on you Thank you for this and have a good day bye I am from India🇮🇳🇮🇳
@@kaspastarr im just talking about paper bottles in general not defending coca cola specifically as many companies are trying to do the same paper bottle thing
Those saying to just use glass really need to read up on the very large amount of energy required to manufacture and recycle glass bottles. Also, glass bottles are a serious safety hazard. Good for Coca-Cola.
How about Coke let you trade in one of their glass bottles for a sealed full one at a retailer, and then take the empty bottles back when they deliver fresh ones to retailers. They can then wash out those empty glass bottles and re fill them with more coke.
So after driving the world's usage of plastic bottles that end up in China and/or the ocean, they're gonna act super green and make a plastic bottle with a paper wrapper and we are supposed to get excited for the environment?
It is very hard to to then separate the thin plastic layer from the paper. Ridiculous. The only way is 1 glas bottle, the same for the entire world. Or reusable container in aluminum where we could resupply with a minimum of 1L. Making bottles of 1, 2, 5 liters.
All cocacola advertisements is using glass bottles in their comercials, which is prolly less than 1% of all cocacola sold. Shame on cocacola selling the same sugar water but not fixing the polition they make
@Mike Most trees used for paper come from forests called managed timberlands. Even though the trees in these timberlands may look like “woods,” they are an agricultural crop - like vegetables on a farm. The trees are grown to be made into products for human use. Not using paper in order to save trees is like not eating salad in order to “save” vegetables. In fact, many forests might not exist in the fi rst place if trees weren’t planted and harvested by industry. It takes from 10 - 20 years for trees to grow until they are large enough for harvesting. During that time, those trees are part of a community of plants and animals, and their environment space is known as an ecosystem.
More trees are planted every year than are cut down. This is due in most part to the success of managed timberlands. Whenever trees are harvested, more trees are planted to take their place. Timberlands can be managed to produce trees and forest products forever
This is nonsense. Remember when milk was sold in half gallon cardboard containers? That is also paper product. Mexico sells all their milk products in cardboard or plastic. The non refrigerated milk is on the shelf in cardboard containers. So is soy, almend, and coconut drinks.
Yeah but thats all lined with plastic or even aluminum on the inside. Look up tetra pack for example, I don’t think a 100% paper packaging has been done yet sadly. But we’re getting there
There's nothing wrong with plastic. The problem is with getting rid of it once it's been used - and that's nothing that tougher litter laws, drives to get people to recycle and glass alternatives can't fix.

Plastic bottles are actually pretty recyclable
It's kinda a bad system tho
remember ! aluminium is a slow poison
And remember, safety is number one priority
How about using GLASS, with glass return system in every store.
Those f@ckers are after money,not after safety.
Glass takes lots of energy to make and is almost as bad, sooo no sorry

Plastic will always be needed, just like this product.

So it’s a plastic bottle
With some paper around it.... revolutionary!!! 64
the plastic liner is about 0.0025 to 0.0065 inch

Did you know that glass bottles can be washed ?

Still i didn't find any paper bottle in India
But you can see the clear plastic right there in the "paper" bottle

“Hello, I'm a paper bottle” flashbacks...
Why reinvent the wheel! Glass bottles were good!
Why not make the plastic liner out of a biodegradable plastic?
How about changing the 500ml bottle with an aluminium one. One huge plastic saving and zero R&D costs 😉

JUST USE GLASS FFS!
Ever heard of GLASS ! you muppets just doing this for the marketing. PURE GREENWASHING
You're the muppet. You just assume glass bottles don't have disadvantages
Apart from the economic side , the long term disadvantages of plastic far outweigh glass for the environment.
Cutting down even more trees is a step forward? I will never buy coke products again!
Believe it or not using more paper means planting more trees by the paper companies which grow in a controlled manner for years
@Mike r u kidding me? u need to research how paper/wood companies work. they done it for decades and they even have more trees now
@Mike omg u sent me your thesis :D thanks for the info

too little, too late. How about spending money on cleaning all that plastic you already used for packaging?

Recycling plastic bottles isn't that easy.
A paper bottle made of plastic? Is this some kind of Orwellian doublespeak?!
GTFO.
