The bacteria will beat them to the punch. The bacteria started years ago.
Coca-Cola is being slammed for its massive solution to the 'plastics epidemic' as critics call for a world where plastic bottles are extinct
- Coca-Cola announced on Friday that for every bottle it sells, it will recycle the equivalent number of bottles.
- Greenpeace slammed Coca-Cola for focusing on recycling, instead of making moves to decrease its use of single-serve plastic bottles.
- Coca-Cola's CEO said that if Coke can manage to recycle the equivalent of 100% of its packaging, "there's no such thing as a single-use bottle."
It seems that the one time use without incentive to recycle is the real sticky point...What's the use of building a hundred or two hundred recycle centers if the recycling contribution is low, the consumer must take some initiative and responsibility if any recycling plan is to work...
I get 1 SEK back for overy PET bottle I return.. Peanuts.. But after a few months it adds up
Here in my region no monies given for recycling plastic, only glass bottles or aluminum cans, plastic recycling isn't promoted nor properly encouraged...
Well, I cant think they just get thrown on the side walk. Probably put in your trasch and more or less properly burnt in a CHP plant ? so you'll get electricity and heat back
As well as causing internal physical damage, inflammation of intestines and reduced feeding in fish, the toxic particles can be passed up the food chain to humans.
This statement is dumbass.
Fish are gutted before we eat them.
The particles are passed up the food chain in the ocean, because tuna don't gut and fillet their prey before they eat thme.
Well...So terrible...
Sperm whale found dead on the Spanish coast was killed after swallowing 64lbs of PLASTIC waste including bags, nets, ropes and a jerry can
A sperm whale found dead on the coast of southern Spain was killed by swallowing 29 kilos (64 pounds) of plastic, government officials have confirmed. During an autopsy of the creature, investigators uncovered plastic bags, netting and a jerry can in the whale's digestive system.
The death of the marine mammal has prompted authorities to launch a campaign against dumping plastic waste at sea.
The body of the young male sperm whale, which was around 10 metres (33 feet) long and weighed more than six tonnes, was discovered washed ashore at Cabo de Palos in Mercia at the end of February.
Experts at the region's El Valle Wildlife Rescue Centre, which carried out the procedure, said it had been unable to digest or excrete the plastic it ingested. The official cause of death was peritonitis, an infection of the inner lining of the stomach.
