Coca-Cola Australia: How do we solve the plastic waste crisis? – The Guardian

by May 14, 2019

The world has a plastic problem. About eight million tonnes of it ends up in the ocean every year, and the Great Pacific Garbage Patch covers an estimated area the size of Queensland. So much plastic ending up where it does not belong is at the heart of the problem.

It is because of this global failure to keep plastic in its rightful place in the recycling loop that we are seeing a global push led by individuals, NGOs, governments and companies – including major players such as Coca-Cola – towards minimising single-use plastic, improving recyclability and encouraging recycling by consumers, with a view to making single-use plastic a thing of the past.
