The reality is, Coca-Cola has a major plastics problem and it\u2019s\u00a0threatening our personal and planetary health.<\/p>\n\n<p>In December 2020, following global clean ups and brand audits,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breakfreefromplastic.org\/globalbrandauditreport2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Coca-Cola was named the world\u2019s worst plastic polluter for the third year in a row<\/a>. That means that no matter what beach you stand on, or which city block you stroll, you are most likely to find Coke-branded plastic posing a threat to both our waterways and communities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>For decades, Coca-Cola and other consumer goods companies have relied on the myth of recycling to avoid responsibility for this pollution. They have played up recycled content as a way to continue using harmful single-use plastics, and put the onus on all of us to clean up their trash, while refusing to recognize that their plastic problem is beyond being solved by recycling or clean up initiatives.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-international-stateless\/2021\/04\/3f901be3-gp1su6z6-1024x719.jpg\" alt=\"Coca Cola Plastic Pollution in the Anacostia River in Maryland. \u00a9 Tim Aubry \/ Greenpeace\" class=\"wp-image-47295\" title=\"Coca Cola Plastic Pollution in the Anacostia River in Maryland. \u00a9 Tim Aubry \/ Greenpeace\"\/><figcaption>A Coke bottle sits along the banks of the Anacostia River. Single-use plastic is contaminating our food, our water, and the air we breathe. Trillions of drinks and snacks are sold in throwaway packaging each year, and more ends up in the environment than is recycled. The majority is dumped or burned. \u00a9 Tim Aubry \/ Greenpeace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>Its plastic addiction is also feeding climate change. As the fossil fuel industry\u2019s profitability continues to be undermined by worldwide action against greenhouse gas emissions, it has begun to see its salvation in a plastics boom \u2013 and a long-term partner in consumer goods companies like Coca-Cola. According to scientists, packaging already&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/advances.sciencemag.org\/content\/3\/7\/e1700782\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">accounts for 40 percent of total plastic demand<\/a>, and the industry would like nothing more than to increase that dependence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>If the fossil fuel industry continues to develop new extraction and processing capacity to meet the predicted plastics demand growth, society could become locked into high emissions, and the necessary 1.5 \u00b0C capstone goal to avoid the\u00a0worst impacts of climate change\u00a0will become impossible to meet.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-international-stateless\/2021\/04\/56d02b40-gp1suq7x-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Ineos Oil Facilities in Texas. \u00a9 Aaron Sprecher \/ Greenpeace\" class=\"wp-image-47296\" title=\"Ineos Oil Facilities in Texas. \u00a9 Aaron Sprecher \/ Greenpeace\"\/><figcaption>Ineos and Braskem oil facilities in La Porte, Texas. As upstream profits in oil and gas production have declined, the fossil fuel industry has increasingly invested in petrochemical divisions as a potential bright spot, citing low price ethane feedstocks generated from the US fracking boom and increased demand for single-use plastics in the consumer goods sector. \u00a9 Aaron Sprecher \/ Greenpeace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What needs to happen now<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>So how does Coca-Cola get to that sunny hilltop?

Coca-Cola must put its money where its mouth is and invest in systems of reuse that eliminate the\u00a0burden of toxic plastic pollution from these communities\u00a0so they have access to cleaner air and water, and can thrive in the communities they call home.<\/p>\n\n<p>If Coca-Cola truly wants to live up to its climate commitments, it must play no part in fuelling a planned fossil fuel petrochemical expansion that risks locking us into high emissions and the worst impacts of climate change. It must\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/petition.act.greenpeace.org.nz\/plastics-choke\">end its toxic relationship with the fossil fuel industry<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>It\u2019s time for Coca-Cola to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/story\/glass-packaging-forum-threatens-container-return-scheme\/\">buy into refill and reuse systems for its products<\/a>.
