[bffp.discussion] New Oceana Report - Coca-Cola's World With Waste

26 Mar 25

Email:

Dear BFFP friends and allies,

I’d like to share with you a new report that Oceana released today, ‘Coca-Cola’s World With Waste: The soft drink company’s enormous and worsening plastic problem and how reusable packaging can solve it.’

In this report, we project that Coca-Cola’s plastic use may exceed 9.1 billion pounds (4.1 million metric tons) per year by 2030, and that up to 1.3 billion pounds (602,000 metric tons) of this plastic could end up in the world’s waterways and oceans if the company continues on its current course. We also show how increasing reusable packaging can ‘bend Coca-Cola’s plastic growth curve’ going forward, both reducing the amount of plastic the company uses and its contribution to marine plastic pollution. Importantly, the report also highlights how plastic is impacting marine life, human health, and how this is introducing risks for the company. We call on Coca-Cola and its bottlers to take action to reduce their plastic packaging footprint and commit to growing reusable packaging.

• Coca-Cola’s response is here: Coca-Cola-Response-to-Oceana-Report-3.25.25.pdf

• And, Oceana has shared the report through our accounts on YouTube, X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTok

We’d be very grateful for support in amplifying our report through sharing any of the links on social media, and please get in touch if you have any questions about the report or our campaign.

Thanks all!
