Coca-Cola’s plastic waste could reach 602-million kilograms a year by 2030

# By 2030, Coca-Cola products will account for an estimated 602-million kilograms of plastic waste entering the world’s oceans and waterways each year. This is according to a report by the non-profit organisation Oceana. Coca-Cola ranks as the world’s top branded plastic polluter, followed by PepsiCo and Nestlé. Oceana has found that if Coca-Cola were to reach 26.4-percent reusable packaging by 2030, the company could bend its plastic curve, reducing its annual plastic use below current levels. In response, Coca-Cola says it remains committed to expanding its refillable packaging options.
