Tons of plastic in the forest: this is what you can find near Vittel.
Bernard Schmitt is spokesperson for the Collectif Eau 88 and when he sees this pollution, his heart sinks: “There are bottles and other rubbish, like large blocks of PVC which release a lot of chlorine and dioxin when they are burning.
“These Nestlé landfills would number nine in France and result from the uncontrolled beginnings of the manufacture of plastic bottles.
Employees at the time explained that plastic bottles and construction waste were buried in pits, burned and finally covered with earth to hide this pollution.
Bernard deplores the 4,200 tonnes of plastic from this landfill alone: “The degradation of plastic always provides plastic!
Simply, there, we see a big plastic and then in 400 years, there will be only microplastics which will have infiltrated in the ground, in the water, will have run in the streams and will feed the sea. that's the plastic degradation cycle.
