Coca-Cola Europacific Partners PNG Commercial director Tim Solly, says the PNG has a unique heritage and culture. “This Independence Day we are encouraging everyone in Port Moresby to collect PET plastic beverage bottles to prevent them going into landfill, waterways or the environment. To help increase the capacity of beverage bottles that can be recycled, Coca-Cola in PNG has also bought two PET shredders which pre-process the material and turn the PET beverage bottles into flake, making it easier and more cost effective to ship the material offshore. Mr Solly said CCEP PNG and Coca-Cola PNG aim to expand PET collection across the country, with plans for collection to begin next in Lae, Morobe Province. “The ability to recycle PET plastic beverage bottles is only one piece of the puzzle.
