Tell Coca-Cola Bottlers To Bring Back Refill
Send a message directly to Swire Coca-Cola in Oregon and urge them to Bring Back Refill!
Reusables are a solution that reduce waste and litter, curb emissions, limit exposure to microplastics, and build a circular economy.
Although Coca-Cola is a corporate behemoth, operationally, it’s run by regional bottlers – who aren’t used to hearing directly from concerned community members and customers. And they have the means to make impactful changes. In fact, some Coke bottlers are already rolling out reuse systems in various markets.

Sample Message:
Hi, I’m writing in because I wish I could enjoy a Coke without the single-use waste. Can Swire Coca-Cola help Coke’s iconic refillable glass bottle make a comeback in Oregon?
Reusables are popular, protect us from harmful health impacts of microplastics, and reduce single-use waste and plastic pollution. And lots of people prefer the taste and experience of real Coke in real bottles (like Mexican Coke).
Other Coke bottlers run successful refill and reuse systems, like in El Paso, Texas, and you should too.
On your website, you share that positively impacting the community and the environment are important to you, and that’s important to me too. I’d love to see Swire Coca-Cola prioritize real sustainability, and as a supporter of The Story of Stuff Project, encourage you to meet with the nonprofit to explore opportunities to Bring Back Refill! Reach them at [email protected].
Thank you for your consideration.
