Liberty Coca-Cola Beverages will use WestRock's PETCollar Shield Plus paperboard carriers at its Philadelphia plant to replace plastic rings on multipack bottles, expected to be operating by summer 2024 and cutting about 200,000 pounds of plastic a year together with its existing mini-can packaging.
Liberty Coca-Cola Beverages partnered with WestRock to replace plastic multipack rings with paper-based PETCollar Shield Plus carriers, eliminating 200,000 pounds of plastic annually. Installation begins summer 2024 at its Philadelphia facility.
Graphic Packaging launched its KeelClip fiber-based can multipack packaging in the United States with an AutoClip KC1600 machine installed at Liberty Coca-Cola Beverages' Elmsford, New York facility. The system removes plastic rings and shrink wrap from can multipacks.
