Stop Plastic Pollution

For decades, Coca Cola, Nestle, Pepsi and other consumer goods companies have relied on the myth of recycling to avoid responsibility for their plastic pollution.

They have played up recycled content as a way to continue using harmful single-use plastics, and put the onus on all of us to clean up their trash, while refusing to recognize that their plastic problem is beyond being solved by recycling or clean up initiatives.

Their plastic addiction is also feeding climate change and environmental injustice.

As the fossil fuel industry’s profitability continues to be undermined by worldwide action against greenhouse gas emissions, it has begun to see its salvation in a plastics boom. According to scientists, packaging already accounts for 40 percent of total plastic demand, and the industry would like nothing more than to increase that dependence.

It's time to stop the pollution at source and demand demand Coca Cola, Nestle and Pepsi to invest in real solutions like reuse & refill systems.
