Coca-Cola is making headway in the recovery of PET plastic across Sri Lanka through such dynamic partnerships by locating its customized Coca-Cola ‘Give Back Life’ collection bins at strategic locations to inculcate the practice of the recovery and recycling of PET plastic bottles which can be turned into useful products such as brooms, brushes and yarn by Eco Spindles Pvt. Ltd. which leads to the creation of alternate livelihoods and a circular economy in Sri Lanka.
