The two tobacco companies Altria and Philip Morris International combined made up 2% of the branded plastic litter found, both Danone and Nestlé each produced 3% of it, PepsiCo was responsible for 5% of the discarded packaging, and 11% of branded plastic waste could be traced to the Coca-Cola company.
Time for the beneficiary’s of these companies to start footing the bill for cleaning up their garbage.
That is a good idea. I wouldn’t want to loose the convenience of buying coke in a plastic bottle. So instead, make these firms legally commit to investing in clean up programs so at least some of the litter will be recovered.
