The two tobacco companies Altria and Philip Morris International combined made up 2% of the branded plastic litter found, both Danone and Nestlé each produced 3% of it, PepsiCo was responsible for 5% of the discarded packaging, and 11% of branded plastic waste could be traced to the Coca-Cola company.
On those drink companies alone we have 21% of all plastic waste. Amazon packaging has to be a good 30% probably.
Excuse my ignorance but what is Amazon packaging? Everything I’ve ever gotten from Amazon was packaged in cardboard, but maybe that’s a local thing.
Don’t forget the big plastic bubble bags they use to pad the product inside.
In my experience, they send your purchase in a box that’s easily 4x the necessary size, with the padding bubbles taking up the rest of the space.
I’ve gotten a mix of bubble and paper cardboard but your right. Not just the padding but also the bubble bags they occasionally ship smaller stuff in.
Every now and then I’d get the package in one of those opaque gray plastic bags that many postal services use. Probably means those.
