Coca-Cola unveils 100% rPET bottles in Indonesia

Coca-Cola Indonesia, in partnership with Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP), has announced the nationwide launch of bottles made from 100% rPET plastic, excluding the cap and label.

In a first for the country, rPET packaging is now available for Coca-Cola Trademark brands, Fanta, Sprite in 390ml, and Sprite Waterlymon in 425ml. This significant milestone is a step toward the development of a closed loop circular economy in Indonesia, and underscores CCEP’s commitment to its goal of using 50% recycled plastic in its packaging by 2025.

The introduction of 100% rPET bottles marks a substantial contribution towards this goal, reducing reliance on new plastics in Indonesia and lowering carbon emissions in the production process.

Recycling plant in West Java  

A state-of-the-art recycling facility in West Java, established by CCEP and Dynapack Asia, manufactures the recycled bottles from post-consumer PET, and boosting recycling capability in the region.

The factory also houses a jointly established foundation Mahija Parahita Nusantara, a key means of driving circular outcomes for PET bottles while stabilizing feedstock pricing and ensuring fair and responsible collection practices for waste collectors.

The foundation supports The Coca-Cola Company’s goal of collecting the equivalent of each can and bottle it sells by 2030, developing collection infrastructure through collection micro-enterprises, social enterprise and community support.

Mahija helps provides the feedstock for the facility while ensuring that the factory operations adhere to human rights principles and regulations in the waste collection supply chain, such as eliminating child labor and providing safe work environments.
