PepsiCo Canada Makes a Breakthrough: 100 Percent Recycled EcoGreen Bottle
PepsiCo Canada’s 100% Recycled EcoGreen Bottle Breakthrough
PepsiCo Beverages Canada has launched North America’s first soft drink bottle made from 100% recycled post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic. The bottle is know as the 7UP EcoGreen bottle and is made of 100 percent recycled plastic.
