Beverage Industry: I Will Not Buy Your Plastic.
The Issue
University studies have proven these facts:
There are 5 Trillion plastic items in the ocean.
+ 80% of ocean trash is plastic.
+ 12% of ocean trash is plastic beverage containers.
+ It takes 1000+ years for plastic to biodegrade.
+ As it breaks down, it creates microplastics.
+ 60% of seafood contains microplastics.
+ The new sealed beverage itself contains microplastics.
+ Children ingest 550 microplastics per day.
+ Microplastic ingestion is linked to health problems.
We, the people, refuse to buy any beverage in plastic.
Dear Pepsi, Coca Cola, and the entire beverage industry. If you want our business, your package must be compostable, and the whole company must be free of single-use plastic. No plastic pallet wrap. No plastic six-pack rings. No plastic anything.
