Packaging waste and climate change are significant global challenges that our industry takes seriously, and Ozarks Coca-Cola actively and voluntarily participates in the American Beverage Association’s global sustainable packaging efforts. Currently, our 20 oz Coca-Cola bottles are made from 100% recycled materials and are 100% recyclable. In 2024, we began utilizing bottles with 2.5 grams less plastic than previous bottle designs.
Water management, quality, and technology are exceptionally important to our industry, area ecosystems, and consumers. Our innovative water treatment and filtration system reduces the volume of water we use in production. It then collects and treats the wastewater before it is released to the city and back into the environment.
Ozarks is committed to reducing landfill waste and keeping our region a beautiful place to live, work, and play. In the manufacturing process, we recycle a variety of materials, including preforms, bottles, aluminum cans, pallets, shrink wrap, plastic strapping, premix tanks, broken equipment, trays, and boxes. Throughout our organization, recycling stations are available for staff to dispose of their plastic and aluminum waste. Additionally, we have minimized paper waste by transitioning to a mostly electronic environment for both internal and external communication.
Ozarks Coca-Cola encourages you to recycle our products and support recycling initiatives where you live, work and play. To learn more about The Coca-Cola Company’s sustainability efforts, visit Sustainability.
