NEW DELHI: International brands, including The Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo, have been linked to more than half of the branded plastic pollution in a new research.
Analysing data from 84 countries, researchers identified that single-use plastic products of food and beverage companies are found as “plastic waste in the environment.”
They found that the top five brands were The Coca-Cola Company (linked to 11 per cent of branded plastic waste), followed by PepsiCo (5 per cent), Nestlé (3 per cent), Danone (3 per cent), and Altria (2 per cent). In all, 56 companies were identified.
