EUROPEAN COMMISSION: WELCOMES COMMITMENTS OF COCA-COLA, NESTLÉ, AND DANONE TO MODIFY RECYCLING CLAIMS ON PLASTIC BOTTLES
The European Commission said in a statement that those companies had committed to replace claims on bottles' labels such as "I am a bottle made from 100% recycled plastic" with "This bottle is 100% recycled Excluding cap and label" to ensure factually clear and correct information regarding recyclability and composition.
Other commitments made by the companies included ensuring that the overall impression of the label and the marketing is not misleading regarding the inherent environmental benefits of plastic bottles.
