there are many offenders but I will pick out just one multinational to make an example
Here is the product line of Coca Cola, from which plastic debris has become ubiquitous in the ocean
major Coca Cola Products in USA: Dasani water, Fanta, Powerade, Sprite, Flavored Cokes such as Cherry, Vanilla and many more, Barq's Root Beer, Fresca, Mr. Pibb, Nestea, Minute Maid, Bacardi Mixers Fruitopia, TaB, Tahiti Treat, Mello Yello, Splice, & Mexican Coke.
imagine if this company business model was to open a plant in each state and have each plant dedicated to serving the public only in that one state, eliminating the need for shipping over state lines. That way they could run a recycling plant locally to reuse their own bottles or better yet, start packaging their products in biodegradable hemp bottles. Millions of marine life forms would be spared.
