The BBC is reporting that Coca-Cola may have to sell more drinks in plastic bottles in the US if President Donald Trump’s tariffs end up making aluminium cans more expensive.
This, after Trump ordered a 25 per cent import tax on all steel and aluminium entering the US, which could end up driving up the price of canned food and drink items in the country.
In December, the beverage giant scaled down its sustainability target of using 50 per cent recycled materials in its packaging by 2030, to using 35 per cent to 40 per cent by 2035.
Environmental groups have labelled Coca-Cola as the “top global plastic polluter” for six consecutive years.
