According to the survey report on the carbon emission of beverage bottle materials ( 2024 ) released by the Consumer Protection Committee ( hereinafter referred to as " Shanghai Consumer Protection Committee " ), the minimum and maximum carbon emissions per 100 g of PET bottles are 15 times different, and the carbon emissions per 100 ml / 100 g of plastic bottles for drinking water products are the lowest. At the same time, related enterprises are actively promoting carbon reduction and plastic reduction through the recycling of beverage bottles, the lightweight of beverage bottles, the introduction of zero-carbon products, and the creation of green factories. The impact of beverage bottles on the environment cannot be ignored. They not only consume a lot of resources and produce carbon emissions in the production process, but also are difficult to degrade after being discarded. They exist in the environment for a long time and pose a threat to soil, water and ecosystems. Therefore, it is of great significance to realize the reduction of beverage bottles for protecting the environment and promoting sustainable development. Shanghai Consumer Protection Commission called on the industry 's leading enterprises to publicize the carbon emissions data of beverage bottle materials. At the same time, relevant departments should speed up the approval of the use of rPET materials in food-grade packaging.
Large capacity beverage bottles are more low-carbon and environmentally friendly
Data show that last year, China 's mainland beverage consumption reached CNY 299.13 billion. In terms of plastic products consumption, Chinese households consume about 82 kilograms of plastic each year, of which 34 % are accompanied by packaging.
Beverage enterprises actively promote plastic reduction work
In order to deal with the problem of plastic pollution and reduce the significant impact of beverage bottles on the environment, during the ' 14th Five-Year Plan ' period, the state formulated relevant policies on the reduction of plastic in beverage bottle packaging, and set the goal of ' achieving a reduction of 10 % by 2025 '.
At present, the beverage industry has achieved some results in reducing plastic and carbon reduction. The survey found that major brands actively use PET materials to make beverage bottles easier to recycle. At the same time, brand-led packaging recycling environmental protection action has also become an industry trend.
