Coca-Cola plastic waste in oceans expected to reach 602m kilograms a year by 2030
-
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.

I thought Sprite was owned by Coke.

Yeah tbh I couldn’t find an image that shows just how much dominance they have purely by separate parent org. But if sprite, Diet Coke, and coke are all so much higher than Dr Pepper and Pepsi, it should give some idea

does the math
That's like 15kg/human. An empty 12-Oz coke bottle weighs about 15 grams, so that's just about 100 bottles per human per year. -

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.

That’s it? I’m sure we can bump those numbers up before then.

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.

Some sacrifices need to be made to maximize shareholder value. Don’t forget, we’re all in this together

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?
