Coca-Cola launches a new bottle made from 100% rPET for Dasani and moves away from green to clear plastic for Sprite to improve recycling.
Coca-Cola Co.'s recent announcement that it will start producing the soft drink Sprite in clear instead of green bottles will make recycling easier. But climate groups say it's not enough.
