The global plastic bottles market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of nearly 4.5% during the forecast period. Rising consumers’ awareness regarding sustainable products has led the demand for 100% recycled products. As a result, a range of new launches has reported for completely recyclable plastic bottles. The major brands are investing in highly sustainable plastic options to minimize the use of virgin plastic, allowing the creation of a circular economy for plastics. Companies that recently launched fully recyclable plastic bottles include Diageo plc, Unilever plc, Nestlé S.A., and the Coca Cola Co. As consumers are increasingly preferring highly sustainable products, these companies are taking advantage of this opportunity by launching 100% recyclable bottles. Hence, this initiative could support the company to increase sales of its completely recyclable packaged brands.
