Calcap at Coca-Cola: 28 million bottles are processed into biogas

The Coca-Cola Company has started a large-scale recall campaign that affects several million bottles of its popular lemonades. Small pieces of metal in the drinks were suspected, which led to deciding to pull certain products out of circulation. The background of the recall campaign are both surprising and worrying for consumers.

Specifically, it is 0.5-liter PET bottles from Coca-Cola, Fanta, Sprite and Mezzomix. These bottles have a best -before date between February 4, 2025 and April 12, 2025 and are provided with the special coding "WP". The recall campaign was triggered by a defective sieve in the production facility in Edelstal, Neusiedl am See district, which could have metal fragments into the drinks.

environmentally friendly disposal

The affected bottles are now not simply disposed of, but are processed into biogas in an environmentally friendly process. This means that the liquids from the recall products are used for energy generation, while the bottles themselves are recycled. According to a report by ORF Burgenland, Coca-Cola has published a letter that explains the measures and the rational decision behind the disposal. The company emphasizes that after a thorough risk assessment, consumers are first in the first place.

The recall campaign is an estimated 28 million bottles. This represents one of the largest recall actions in Austria's history. Despite the worrying situation, Coca-Cola has so far reported only a complained bottle in the four-week recall phase. The company plans a comprehensive review and is working on ensuring the quality and safety of your products. The full list of products concerned is available on request, and Coca-Cola has assured that you are actively working on communication with consumers.

The decision to recycle the lemonade and dispose of the affected bottles is generally discussed as a responsible step in a time when consumers are increasingly paying attention to environmental friendliness and sustainability. The brand fans can be excited to see how the company will continue after this recall campaign and which learning results are drawn from this incident.
