Sprite Ditches Iconic Green Bottle

The era of Sprite soda coming in a green bottle has come to an end. For more than 60 years, the soft drink Sprite has come packaged in iconic green bottles, and will no longer be in these bottles for environmental reasons. Starting next month, the Coca-Cola Co., which produces Sprite, will package the lemon-lime drink in clear plastic bottles in North America. By bottling Sprite in clear plastic,the bottles will be able to be recycled more times. One goal, the company says, is to increase the supply of recycled plastic that the company can then use to make future bottles.
