In 2004, Coca-Cola South Africa funded and co-created the PET Recycling Company (Petco), an industry body that works with government on the behalf of the industry to increase the value of recyclable PET and achieve sustainable growth in the region's plastic collection system. The partnership has helped build a sustainable recycling industry in the region. Two world class bottle-to-bottle recycling facilities at Extrupet and MPact, create recycled PET for use in the beverage industry.
