Coca-Cola has introduced its appropriately named "PlantBottle," which is made using plastic that contains 30 percent plant materials.
Muhtar Kent, chairman and chief executive of the Coca-Cola Company, said that "PlantBottle" is a "significant" step towards the company's goal of developing bottles made from materials that are "100 percent recyclable and renewable."
The company said the bottle has an advantage over similar plant-based bottles because it can be recycled using the technology that is already in place in recycling facilities.
The "PlantBottle" also accounts for 25 percent less emissions than petroleum-based bottles.
