Notorious waste-producing companies (mc/burger/coke) could be required to mark their food and drink containers with an enzyme of some sort. Then be fined by the percentage of waste the council puts past the sensor in their recycling machines.
These brands seem to think that using recycled plastic will resolve the problem of pollution. It won’t. They do greenwash just enough to make soothe their brand conscience. Read how they still direct the narrative in the UK press.
We already know who are the dirty dozen: Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Anheuser-Busch InBev, McDonalds, Mondelez International, Heineken, Tesco, Carlsberg Group, Suntory, Haribo, Mars and Aldi.
This strikes a chord. Not sure if there will be forced packaging tracking but this is definitely an opportunity to make the bad guys pay for their actions.
Currently, the only people to be prosecuted in the UK for breaking environmental laws are small landlords and such. Go figure. We are no longer dictated to by eu laws, it’s time we made our own, better, laws and started acting on them, even if the companies doing it are from over the Atlantic, which many of us share.
