Lesson 10- Sustainability Uses for Wiki


Plant Bottle Wiki Idea
People have become increasingly concerned about the environment and the harmful effects of too much waste.  In 2010, Coca-Cola created Plant Bottle.  Plant Bottle is made from 30% waste from Sugarcane instead of strictly traditional PET, which is petroleum-based. Coca-Cola began bottling it’s Dasani brand water in this packaging and seeks to expand its use to all of its products by 2020.  Plant Bottle technology is not just for Coca-Cola products. It can be used in any plastic container product.  Heinz purchased a license in 2011 to begin using Plant Bottle technology for its 20oz Ketchup container.
I think there should be a Wiki page created for Plant Bottle. The technology is new, but can be used in tons of applications for tons of industries. By creating a wiki page, more people will become aware of the Plant Bottle and offer feedback for enhancing the technology or additional uses for it. If this page is created, I think it would be successful in spreading the technology and eventually decreasing the use PET.

To see information on Plant Bottle and its technology visit the Coca-Cola Live Positively page.
