CIRCULAR ECONOMY

Applying circular economy principles is essential to address the climate crisis. With the 100% of our packages being recyclable, Coca-Cola Tria Epsilon was the first company in Greece to introduce recycled plastic to its soft drinks production in 2018. Through this action, it saved 840 tones of plastic and more than 1,000 tones of CO2 for years 2020-2021. Additionally, the company is constantly reducing the use of plastic in packaging by firmly investing in its plants in technologies that contribute to the reduction of its environmental footprint.
