Coca-Cola remains the biggest plastic polluter in the world despite its commitments, regrets an NGO. In 2023, more than 6% of the 537,719 plastic waste collected by the NGO's volunteers had been put on the market by the soda giant.

Nestlé, Unilever, PepsiCo and Mondelez complete the top 5. One in five plastic waste was a bottle, and a quarter of the waste was made of PET, a plastic that is nevertheless easily recyclable.
