In an article posted in the nature section of CNN, the Coca-Cola Company is being criticized on how the company is not living up to its promise, made in 1990, to use recycled plastic in soda bottles. According to Bill Sheenan, the result of the Coca-Cola Company not living up to its promise is that “billions of plastic bottles which could be used to make new bottles go to landfills or incinerators every year.” The company decided not to use recycled plastic in the United States because local market conditions were cost prohibitive.
