Earlier this month, Coca-Cola Enterprises, which produces, markets and distributes Coca-Cola products in Western Europe, announced plans to invest €6.5 million ($8.4 million) in a PET recycling facility. CCE is establishing a new joint venture in France with PET recycler APPE to boost the capacity of its plastics reprocessing facility by 70 percent. The venture will invest in a new line at APPE's existing recycling facility in Beaune, France, and will fund the trial and introduction of new technology.
