Hi ,

It’s a real slap in the face to environmentalists when a company that touts environmental sustainability such as Coca-Cola is found to have increased its production of throwaway plastic bottles last year by over a billion.

But luckily, some governments are working to counteract the harmful effects of these plastic bottles. In the U.K, the government plans to reintroduce a deposit return scheme for plastic bottles that will make it simpler and easier to dispose of plastic waste appropriately. In Denmark and South Australia, where such schemes already exist, the rate of successful recycling stands at 90 and 80 percent respectively.
