Although Coca-Cola claims this move is a key step in the group's journey towards carbon neutrality, the fact is that replacing the chain cap packaging is also closely linked to EU regulatio.

Connecting the cap to the bottle may sound like a simple task, but it is a major technical challenge for cap manufacturers, plastic bottle manufacturers and related equipment supplie.
