The days of green Sprite bottles have been numbered for some time. Though green plastic bottles can be recycled, clear ones are a more useful recyclable material. And so The Coca-Cola Company, the owner of the brand, had already started transitioning from Sprite's iconic green bottles to more environmentally-friendly clear bottles in places like the United Kingdom. By last year, clear Sprite bottles began popping up in parts of the United States, according to Fast Company, but today, the other shoe has dropped: Coca-Cola has announced that, starting August 1, all Sprite bottles across the U.S. and Canada will transition to clear packaging.
