Coca-Cola UNITED’s seven locations in Louisiana participated in cleanup and beautification events as part of Keep Louisiana Beautiful’s Love the Boot Week April 17-23.

Known as Louisiana’s largest statewide litter removal and beautification effort, Love the Boot Week aims to create a clean Louisiana for future generations and educate citizens to change attitudes and behaviors that cause litter.

Coca-Cola UNITED’s West Region team hosted cleanups with Osprey Initiative, a Mobile, Alabama-based company that specializes in developing innovative and tailored solutions to environmental issues and challenges. Over the last year, The Coca-Cola Company and Coca-Cola UNITED have jointly given $130,000 to the Osprey Initiative to fund environmental sustainability programs across Louisiana.

Osprey Initiative will create a closed loop system with most the beverage containers collected during Love the Boot Week, reusing the materials to create new containers.
