We have a key role to play in protecting the environment of the countries we serve. We aim to preserve the value of our packaging materials and our environment by increasing the reduction, reuse and recycling of our packaging and ensuring that it does not end up on our shared waterways or in the environment.
And since the Coca-Cola Company’s 2018 announcement of the World Without Waste program, recycling has been the top priority in ECCBC’s sustainability strategy as we partner with them to fulfil its far-reaching commitments.
Equatorial Coca-Cola is working with governments, industry partners and NGOs to find a solution to the growing menace of waste build-up. Our strategy will focus on 2 main goals composed of 5 action plans in 5 pilot countries; Algeria, Ghana, Morocco, Cape Verde and Guinea Conakry where 90% of our total PET production takes place.
