00:10As of August 1st, 2022, Sprite will be served in clear plastic bottles, Coca-Cola announced.

00:17And it all ties back to the company's effort to be more sustainable.

00:20After all, the company was named the number one plastic polluter in the world

00:25by at least one organization.

00:27As the company explained, the clear plastic bottles can be recycled

00:31and turned into new plastic bottles.
