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.

    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.

      Coke in glass or metal is indistinguishable.

      Let’s just use the leverage of it being so few companies to force them to do what’s right.
