The two tobacco companies Altria and Philip Morris International combined made up 2% of the branded plastic litter found, both Danone and Nestlé each produced 3% of it, PepsiCo was responsible for 5% of the discarded packaging, and 11% of branded plastic waste could be traced to the Coca-Cola company.
And yet even still the overwhelming majority of that “small plastic” is just… tire dust. That’s still the bulk of the material.
That’s the vast scale of automobile pollution. Another piece of how horrific auto-centric society is for the entire planet.
