Zero plastic? Change is good and change is necessary. What does that mean for the vending industry?
Coca cola is rolling out a prototype of an extra strong paper bottle with thin plastic liner. It's going to be tested this summer in Hungary with about 2k bottles distributed.
So, what does that mean for vending? My personal opinion is that if the trials go well, Coca Cola, and other companies will begin to adopt this idea. Reasons being it works and it's cheaper.
The Vending world will have to adapt. Different machines? Different slot containers? Who knows? Remember what happened to Blockbuster? The Netflix guys actually approached them before Netflix took off and Blockbuster didn't think it would work.
Change is coming though. Especially since the company set a goal to produce Zero waste by 2030.
What do you think?
