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.
Imagine how much plastic waste could be eliminated if Coke and Pepsi just went back to glass bottles?
You are going to have a much harder time convincing people to give up on their soda addiction than you are finding a way to get the soda addicts to get Coke and Pepsi to switch back to glass.

Imagine how much plastic waste could be eliminated if we just boycotted these companies.

Perhaps so, alas. And the rates of obesity and diabetes continue to rise. sigh.
That’s the thing about addiction. You keep using even though it’s really bad for you.
I did notice Altria / Phillip Morris were also in that list. :-(
All those cigarette packages wrapped in plastic.
Cans exist? I haven’t bought a bottle of soda pop in god knows how long. Cans or bust.
Cans have plastic in them
Probably less than a bottle and cans get recycled for aluminium, which probably means the plastic gets burned off.
Not saying that’s great but in comparison it is better.
Oh absolutely it is. But glass is even better between the two.
Any win is a win though :)
I haven’t had a drop of either in 20 years and the mess has only grown larger.
