Survey finds that 60 firms are responsible for half of world’s plastic pollution - eviltoast
Study confirms Philip Morris International, Danone, Nestlé, PepsiCo and Coca-Cola are worst offenders

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.

    This is really close to truth. So many of those products producing trash are useless (bottled water) or even actively harmful (soda, cigarettes). You don’t actually need to pay Coca-Cola at all. You just need a reusable bottle and a water fountain or tap.

    Coca-Cola and Phillip Morris will not suddenly start being helpful.

    In that sense: encourage your municipality, employers, etc. to set up public water fountains and no-smoking zones. (And if you really want sweet drinks, buy syrups.)
