TRACKING AND OPTIMIZING THE LIFE CYCLE OF REUSABLE REFPET BOTTLES FOR COCA-COLA FEMSA
Based in Mexico, Coca-Cola FEMSA, one of the largest bottlers in the world, bottles Coca-Cola products in 13 countries: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama and Uruguay.
Coca-Cola FEMSA required cutting-edge technology that is easy to install without disrupting its line operations.
CHALLENGES
• There was no track and trace of RefPETs once bottles were out on the market.
• RefPETs are visually inspected for asset controls.
• A common industry practice is to refill RefPET bottles and measure the number of times they are filled.
