By 2030, Coca-Cola products will account for an estimated 602m kilograms of plastic waste entering the world’s oceans and waterways each year, according to a stark new analysis published Wednesday by the non-profit Oceana.
That is enough plastic to fill the stomachs of 18m whales.
The report arrives amid mounting concerns over the human health risks posed by the spread of microplastics, which scientists increasingly link to cancer, infertility and heart disease.
Feel like we should not make disposable plastic anymore.
Working for a company who makes glass bottles that are 100% recyclable with no loss agrees.
What’s the price difference between the two? I’m assuming it’s only a few more cents per bottle right?
Not sure have no clue the cost. But with glass being so easily recyclable I’m sure it be well worth it. Hell they can make aluminum cans that have caps and that to is easily recyclable with no loss.
We should go back to the days when you were expected to return your empty bottle to the vending machine, so that Coca-Cola could recycle it for you. Republicans want America to go back to the 1950s, so you would think that they would try to convince drink manufacturers to start being responsible for their own bottles again. But they won’t because recycling is probably too woke for them.
That makes sense to me.
But they don’t want to make businesses do anything, even if it means choking the oceans with trash and filling our bodies with plastic. Frankly, they’re bad people that we shouldn’t put up with.
I love being woke here in Finland.
It should really only be used for medical supplies.
But we’re too far gone now. Our earth is fully infected with decaying plastic, we’re all ingesting it, and there is no undoing it.
You’ve got my vote!
Just watched Alone Australia (filmed in Tasmania) and the only containers that 2 of the contestants found so far were glass.
I don’t ever remember seeing any glass being found on America’s Alone series.
