Along with the Zic Zero product line, which has been using eco-friendly containers since last year, the company expects to recycle approximately 100 tons of plastic waste annually. This is equivalent to about 5 million 500ml PET bottles. Production of products with eco-friendly containers began today and they will be launched next month. The recycled containers were developed in collaboration with SK Global Chemical and are made entirely of polyethylene, including the cap and label, making recycling and separation easier.
