[GreenYes] Coke recycling?

["Ilana Gauss" <igauss@co.sanmateo.ca.us>]

Would someone please tell me whether Coca Cola is now using recycled content in plastic bottles? I know they had not owned up to their promise to do so as of a couple of years ago. Today I read this on their website:

To introduce innovative and environmentally friendly packaging, we opened a breakthrough facility in Sydney, Australia for the world's first PET bottles to be produced from recycled PET bottles. Today, one in four PET containers sold by The Coca-Cola Company in North America contain recycled content.

Thank you,
