At noon today, Sprite suddenly rushed to the hot search.

The reason is,

Sprite announced that from August 1st, it will abandon the iconic green bottle packaging,

Turn into a more environmentally friendly transparent container, thus ending the history of the green bottle for more than 60 years. But its familiar emerald hue will still be used on the label.

It is reported that the Coca -Cola company said that the current bottle contains green polyetrazenate ethylene glycol (PET) that cannot be used, and the use of transparent bottles can reduce plastic waste. This substance is usually only recovered into disposable supplies, not other bottles.

Julian Oolian, CEO of Plastic Group R3Cycle, said that transparent plastic bottles can be made into new bottles, which helps to promote the circular economy of plastic.

The company also said that new signs and packaging design will also appear on the Sprite bottle at that time, which aims to "provide more consistent appearance and sound around the world", and the green hue will still be used on the Sprite label.

At present, Sprite has switched to transparent plastic bottles from green bottles in some foreign markets. Specific flavors, such as cherries and sugar -free, only use transparent plastic.

So the same is a carbonated drink, why is the cola bottle transparent, and the Sprite bottle is green? Sprite's transliteration comes from the English Spirit. The original intention was monsters and elves. In the 1940s and 1950s, Sprite's poster always appeared in the image of a cute cartoon elven, symbolizing its lively character. In addition, Sprite itself is a transparent liquid. If the transparent bottle body can cause poor visual effects, it is simply a green bottle body.
