Today, only 25% of recycled PET is used on bottles of Coca-Cola. The company wants more: promises that this index jump to 50% in 2020.
Many PET packaging for drinks end up in landfills. Not enough, through the selective collection, sorting sheds for subsequent recycling. But even going to landfill, technology already exists in the world today to make separation and then plastic recycling going to landfills. It's a question of investment and regulations to facilitate this business in Brazil.
