TL;DR Summary

Coca-Cola plans to fund a three-year trial at Swansea University to develop bottle tops made from carbon dioxide (CO2) captured from the atmosphere or factory emissions. The company aims to reduce its carbon footprint and move away from fossil fuels by using CO2 as a resource to produce a key ingredient for plastics. The process involves passing an electric charge through a mixture of CO2 and water to produce ethylene, a component used in flexible plastics. Coca-Cola's goal is to achieve net zero emissions by 2040 and explore innovative technologies to reduce its environmental impact.
