Repeat Offenders?

Some people never seem to change. Coca Cola, PepsiCo, Nestle and Unilever reportedly generated circa 0.5 billion tonnes of plastic waste dumped in 6 developing countries. The first three, have now achieved top spot for the 3rd year running in a survey of almost 350k plastic items washed up on beaches all around the planet(https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/dec/07/coca-cola-pepsi-and-nestle-named-top-plastic-polluters-for-third-year-in-a-row). Admittedly, just over 60% of the items, collected by the 15000 volunteers, were clearly branded. But, Coca Cola clearly topped the list, even exceeding the totals for PepsiCo and Nestle (in 2nd and 3rd slots) combined. Their excuse for not curbing their use of plastic bottles, "customers like them".
