Spreading the Word About Recycling
Saturday 08th of September 2007 02:45:33 AM
The Coca-Cola Company, one of the world’s leaders in the beverage industry is planning to open its latest recycling plant, the largest in the world, in South Carolina, USA in 2009. This plant will help reduce carbon emissions and allow the company to recycle its products for reuse, which also helps save space in landfills. The Coca-Cola Company, which also owns Desani water, has built similar recycling plants in Mexico, Switzerland, and Austria, and the Philippines.“The long-term sustainability of our business depends on our ability to ensure the sustainability of our packaging. This new recycling facility represents a significant milestone as we work to advance recycling in the U.S. and ensure a strong end-market for our PET packaging,” said Sandy Douglas, president Coca-Cola North America.
In an effort to bring more awareness of the ongoing need to recycle, Coca-Cola will also introduce a clothing line that includes printed T-shirts that have such slogans as ‘I’m wearing post-consumer waste’ on them. This is one way to emphasise that recycling should be an undertaking that everyone is concerned with so the earth can remain safe for generations to come.
Coca-Cola will be working with several companies including the United Resource Recovery Corporation, which helped develop PET recycling technology that many bottling companies use because the plastic can be reused and recycled easily, and RecycleBank, which helps people recycle plastic by educating and rewarding those who can stick to reasonable home recycling practices.
printed T-shirts and other promotional clothing will be available though the Coca-Cola Company website and in select stores within the next few months.

the chance to review the image is great for checking everything over one last time before printing. the time between reviewing the print and delivery was another positive, taking only a couple of days. my friends were really pleased with the finished items. unfortunately i was out when the courier called. he didn't note the date or time of his attempted delivery on his card and he hadn't filled in when or if he would attempt delivery again. on repeatedly phoning the company on a friday between 4:50 and 6 i got no answer. i then tried again on the monday morning, but once again i got no answer. after phoning clothes2order they resolved everything. i realise this is outwith the control of clothes2order, but it soured an otherwise excellent service.
