Summary

Coca-Cola is accused of abandoning its 2022 pledge to use 25% reusable packaging by 2030, quietly removing the goal from its website ahead of global plastics treaty negotiations.

The company now focuses on increasing recycled materials in packaging but faces criticism for greenwashing, as single-use plastics continue to dominate its production.

Campaigners argue reusable packaging is essential to combating plastic pollution, labeling Coca-Cola’s rollback a failure to address the global plastic crisis.

Coca-Cola, often named a top plastic polluter, has yet to comment on the allegations.

Goals more than about 2 years away are just wishful thinking whether it's a company or a government.
