14 Apr 2020 --- The FMCG giants Nestlé, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and Unilever have been spotlighted for their respective corporate plastic polluting behavior in a recent report titled The Burning Question by development agency Tearfund. The report summarizes how in just six countries, the four companies combined create enough plastic pollution – defined as plastic dumped or burnt – to cover a football pitch to a depth of 10 cm every 20 minutes. PackagingInsights reached out to the global F&B juggernauts for commentary on the allegations that the companies are too focused on plastic recycling and not enough on plastic reduction through reusability.
