Mexico City, Mexico - January 25, 2021 - Coca-Cola FEMSA,
S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: KOF UBL; NYSE: KOF) (“Coca-Cola FEMSA” or the “Company”), announces the construction
of a new recycling plant together with ALPLA México, S.A. de C.V. (“ALPLA”), that will be known as “PLANETA”,
(“Planta Nueva Ecología de Tabasco”, in Spanish).
PLANETA will be built in Cunduacán, in the state
of Tabasco, between ALPLA, a global leader in the development and production of plastic packaging solutions and Coca-Cola FEMSA. The objectives
are: (i) to promote the circular economy in the South and Southeast region of Mexico and (ii) to promote and implement effective measures
for the recovery of plastic waste as well as strengthening the collection and recycling chain, to close the loop for a circular economy
that benefits the environment and the communities of the region.
The plant will have a joint investment between Coca-Cola
FEMSA and ALPLA of more than US$ 60 million and will operate with state-of-the-art technology to process up to 50,000 tons of post-consumption
PET bottles per year, to produce up to 35,000 tons of food grade recycled material, ready to be reused. The plant is expected to start
operations during the first quarter of 2023.
The first
stone ceremony was presided by Guillermo Arturo del Rivero León, Secretary of the Government of the State of Tabasco, who attended
in representation of Governor Carlos Manuel Merino Campos. The ceremony was also attended
by distinguished personalities such as Carlos Torres Ballesteros, CEO of ALPLA for Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean; John Santa
Maria, CEO of Coca-Cola FEMSA; as well as Abraham Cano, Mayor of Cunduacán and José Friedrich García Mallitz, Minister
of Development and Competitiveness of Tabasco, among other authorities and officers.
“In Coca-Cola FEMSA, we are working on integrated
strategies to continue taking care of our planet and become an absolute reference in sustainability. We are a responsible company, committed
with the environment and the communities where we operate, therefore, we are developing a series of actions such as promoting recycling
in order to achieve our 2030 goal of collecting 100% of post-consumption packaging, betting on a circular economy that positively impacts
the planet and communities,” said John Santa Maria, CEO of Coca-Cola FEMSA.
It is expected that the construction and operation of PLANETA
will generate more than 20,000 direct and indirect jobs. In addition, its strategic location, in a region with great potential for solid
waste recycling, will integrate 18 collection centers in the area, providing an environmental service that will strengthen the economy
of the region.
The construction of PLANETA is an additional initiative
to all the actions that Coca-Cola FEMSA carries out to continue generating economic value, social and environmental well-being, and to
continue reaching its purpose of refreshing the world anytime and anywhere in the most sustainable way.
