Decision / Coca-Cola won’t stop single-use plastic, it makes 2 lakh bottles a minute.
- The brand produces 3 million tonnes of plastic annually, its waste is spread around the world
- The company argues, the consumer himself wants them to have Coca-Cola in a plastic bottle
- Brand Head Resentment towards company among environmentalists is increasing after Perez statement
New York. While countries all over the world are fixing the time line to clean plastic waste from their own place, Coca-Cola, a global brand of cold drinks, has said that it will not stop giving its drinks in single-use plastic bottles. Following this statement, environmentalists are growing angry with the brand’s statement. Forum working for the environment ‘Charity Break Free’ has said that in the 2019 audit, Coca-Cola has been found to be the highest plastic waste-generating brand in the world. The garbage of this brand can be seen lying here and there in every country of the world. The brand is using 3 million tonnes of plastic every year to make bottles. You can guess how much plastic it will be, so much plastic can produce 2 lakh bottles per minute.
The New York-based brand is headed by B.V. Perez explained to the press that the consumer himself wanted him to have Coca-Cola in a plastic bottle. Because it is much lighter than glass and it is easy for the customer to keep and handle it. If we start using aluminum and glass in packaging, our sales will be affected and the brand will lose billions of dollars. We are trying to reduce the plastic gradually.
Company imposing all fault on consumer
Environmentalists say that Perez is protecting himself in a way and imposing all the mistakes on the consumer. The meaning of this statement is that do people in the world not want to drink plastic from the environment? Even if the brand has packed in other materials, its buyers will not be less.
The company will recycle 50% of its plastic by 2030
B. B. after being surrounded in protest from all around. Perez gave a clarification on behalf of the company at the World Economic Forum held in Davos. She started claiming that by 2030 her company would be able to recycle 50 percent of the plastic it is using. The brand says it recycles bottles. Environmentalists are saying on this that how many crore bottles are being buried in the ground and in the sea. In such a situation, this statement of this brand is ridiculous and poses the biggest threat to the environment in the coming years.
