what happened
The European Commission has welcomed commitments from Coca-Cola, Nestlé and Danone to change how they describe recycling on plastic bottles. According to the commission's statement, labels reading "I am a bottle made from 100% recycled plastic" will be replaced with "This bottle is 100% recycled Excluding cap and label" to keep the information factually accurate. The companies have also pledged that the overall impression of their labels and marketing will not mislead consumers about the environmental benefits of plastic bottles. Source: Reuters.
why it matters
For markets, this is mainly a regulatory story about labeling and advertising rather than financial results. Still, such requirements could affect marketing campaigns at beverage and packaging companies and push them to review how they present environmental claims.
