Coca-Cola is launching a recycling initiative in partnership with Lime, the world's leading provider of shared electric vehicles. To celebrate the nationwide availability of the soda brand's Sip Sized bottles made from 100% recycled plastic material (rPET), Coca-Cola rewards people committed to recycling.
The two companies are offering more than 40,000 free bike or e-scooter rides to people who purchase and pledge to recycle their Sip Sized bottles. As the demand for micro-mobility skyrockets, especially among Gen Z, Coca-Cola and Lime's partnership aims to make zero-emission modes of transportation more accessible. This will help reduce the impact of transportation on the environment. Coca-Cola's 13.2 oz Sip Sized bottles are part of its commitment to the World Without Waste initiative.
