Coca-Cola Beverages Botswana (CCBB) this week launched a revamped and advanced Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) production line, capable of producing 13,500 bottles per hour and also making the company fully compliant in ensuring that clean water is returned to the environment.

PET is a clear, strong, lightweight material that beverage companies use for making 100%-recyclable plastic bottles.

“Our investment in the new production line is a clear demonstration of our continued belief in the future of Botswana and a sign of our confidence in Botswana as an investment destination,” he said.
