Summary

The Coca-Cola Foundation operates primarily through vetted partnership models rather than open grant calls. For this organisation, the most productive route remains the TCCF/UNDP country sub-grant programmes already tracked. However, Coca-Cola country offices in Indonesia, Vietnam, Ghana, Kenya, and Tanzania all have sustainability budgets and can fund local collection partnerships. The approach should be: identify the Coca-Cola sustainability lead in each target country, arrange an introductory meeting through local partners, and propose a small pilot collection scheme using existing infrastructure. Coca-Cola already partners with Plastic Bank in multiple countries — this organisations model is directly comparable. The World Without Waste programme has faced scrutiny (Coca-Cola quietly dropped reuse targets in December 2024), which may reduce Coca-Colas appetite for new collection partnerships as their sustainability ambitions contract. Monitor press coverage on this.

Historical Context
