Bonaqua launches SA’s first water bottle made entirely out of recycled plastic

This is a first for the South African market and forms part of The Coca-Cola Company’s ambitious global goal to create a world without waste – which aims to collect and recycle 100% of all the cans and bottles it produces by the year 2030.

It also demonstrates that The Coca-Cola Company’s goal to include 25% RPET in all of its products by 2025 is indeed technically possible.“To get there we need to continue our work with collectors and recyclers to maintain the growth in collection and recycling of PET beverage bottles. The RPET resin used in the 100% Bonaqua RPET bottle is supplied by Extrupet Ltd, a Coca-Cola-approved supplier of food-grade RPET resin, and is the largest and most advanced recycler of PET bottles on the African continent. Through a distinctive process and adherence to Coca-Cola and international standards, Extrupet is able to produce a resin that meets food safety standards and compares favourably with the quality of virgin PET material​.
