When it comes to plastic pollution, Coca-Cola remains the worst performer.

According to Break Free From Plastic, the companies polluting the most with plastic have remained the same for three years.

The NGO has released its annual report on the subject and reveals that Coca-Cola, Pepsi and Nestlé still occupy the podium, reports RTL.

According to the NGO, they would make "very little progress" to reduce the use of plastic.

“The most polluting companies fail not only to meet their already weak commitments, insists Break Free From Plastic in its study.

But they are increasingly relying on greenwashing to produce a mirage of sustainability.

"

The Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and Nestlé brands are named the world's biggest plastic polluters for the third year in a row.

This is the result of the 3rd international audit of the #BreakFreeFromPlastic movement, by the association No Plastic In My Seahttps: //t.co/aBl4kEvSLu

A drop of 0.1% in one year

However, these three companies signed the New Plastics Economy Global Commitment in 2018.

With this agreement sponsored by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, they committed to reducing the use of this polluting product.

However, the Foundation reveals that these three agri-food giants only reduced their use of plastic by 0.1% between 2018 and 2019.

A figure therefore far from the commitments they had made.

Behind the top three, the companies Unilever, Mondelez International, Mars, Inc., Procter & Gamble, Philip Morris International or Colgate-Palmolive are pinned by the NGO report.
