In keeping with The Coca-Cola Company’s mandate to help solve the global plastic waste crisis, local bottling partner Caribbean Bottlers Trinidad and Tobago Limited is encouraging students to get busy recycling plastic bottles to help preserve the environment and promote sustainable living.
#SustainableHappiness asks students to collect as many plastic bottles as they can and then deliver them to the “Every Bottle Back” Collection Center in Port-of-Spain.
Here, they will be tallied and the top Boys InterCol and Girls InterCol Schools to collect the most plastic bottles, along with the Title winners of the Coca-Cola Boys and Girls InterCol 2022 season will win special edition Coca-Cola shirts made of recycled material.
To turn these plastic bottles into special edition Coca-Cola jerseys, plastic bottles are collected and packed at the recycling centre before being shipped to the processing factory.
From here, the plastic bottles are melted into white round balls, which are crushed and then spun through a nozzle that creates yarn, this yarn is then used to make the fabric for these special edition Coca-Cola jerseys.
#SustainableHappiness is inspired by the Coca-Cola Company’s WORLD WITHOUT WASTE mission - to collect and recycle a bottle or can for every one that they sell so the plastic or can doesn’t end up in landfills or in our beautiful oceans where it can cause lasting environmental damage.
Produced in partnership with Record Media, this series of short films outlines the importance of recycling to protect the environment and will use Coca-Cola’s sponsorship of the InterCol Championships to connect with teenagers and promote their message.
So get your classmates and school involved and start recycling today!
