CCEP Records High Container Collection in Fiji, Expands Operations to Tuvalu
What happened
Coca-Cola Europacific Partners collected a record 17.7 million drink bottles and cans in Fiji between January and September 2026, according to reports from fijisun.com.fj. The company, which operates the Mission Pacific recycling programme, is also purchasing recovered containers from Tuvalu. Furthermore, CCEP is advocating for the Fijian government to introduce a container deposit scheme.

Why it matters
The high collection numbers highlight the growth of Fiji's recycling efforts. CCEP's push for a container deposit scheme could fundamentally change the waste market in Fiji. The company's expansion into Tuvalu also increases its regional recycling supply chain.
Fiji launched comprehensive recycling initiatives, including a pyrolysis plant and coordinated community programs, starting in January 2026.
