Coca-Cola's plastic confession

Some real numbers on plastic pollution - Coca Cola, Colgate and about 30 companies provide data and 150 companies sign up to reduce plastic packaging! Can you picture a blue whale? Now picture 15,000 of them...that's 3 million tons - the amount of plastic packaging used by Coca Cola in one year. Companies are signing up to reduce plastic waste, and many are coming up with recycling plans. I'm asking #companies to #signupnow to reduce #plasticpollution

As soon as I finish this coke, I’m done.

"In this report, 31 companies - including Mars, Nestlé and Danone - reveal how much plastic packaging they create in a year. Nestle: 1.7m tonnes. Colgate: 287,008 tonnes in 2018. Unilever: 610,000 tonnes. Burberry: 200 tonnes of plastic in a year." #plastics #cocacola

Wow, three trillion tons used is a lot of plastic, with huge implications for impact on the planet. Coca-Cola's World Without Waste initiative (https://bit.ly/2HyoNZo) has ambitious global goals, including 100% recyclable packing by 2025. The challenge is great. #sustainability #environment #recycling #waste #zerowaste
