Continuum Recycling celebrates anniversary with 500 million green bottles
Coca-Cola Enterprises and ECO Plastics mark first year of recycling joint venture.
Continuum Recycling, the pioneering recycled-PET joint venture between Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE) and ECO Plastics, celebrated its one year anniversary by reaching the milestone of half a billion bottles processed since opening in May 2012. If placed end-to-end all the bottles sorted to date would stretch around the earth more than twice[1].
To mark the completion of Continuum’s first full year in operation, CCE and ECO Plastics welcomed Lord de Mauley, Parliamentary Under Secretary at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), for a tour of the facility. The visit allowed the Waste & Recycling Minister to witness first-hand the technology and people driving the transformation of plastics reprocessing in Great Britain.
