Coca Cola’s Recycling Scandal – By 2050, there could be more plastic than fish in the sea. Ten tons of plastic are produced every second. Sooner or later, a tenth of that will end up in the oceans. Coca-Cola says it wants to do something about it – but does it really?
Coca Cola’s Recycling Scandal (2018)
Director: Sandrine Rigaud
Genre: Documentary, News
Country: France
Language: English
Also Known As: Cash Investigation: A Plastic Surgery
Release Date: September 11, 2018 (France)
Synopsis:
Every second, another ten tons of plastic is produced. 10% of all plastic produced ends up in the oceans, leading to predictions that, by 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the sea.
Faced with this global scourge, more and more businesses are promising to recycle, including the Coca-Cola Company, a group that sells 4000 plastic bottles around the world every second.
Can we depend on the promises made by these multinationals? And is recycling the solution? We investigated the company’s pledges and discovered that their promises are as sugar-filled as their products.

Hey BLACKROCK CLEAN UP YOUR MESS!! MASS POLLUTERS!!!!!
This is a bad joke. Use one language just to communicate something this crucial, otherwise this is just another coca-cola campaign.
What about Pepsi and other top brands?? , what’s the reason behind by only targeting coca-cola
The only best solution is put a ban on plastic bottles
that first piece was an end cap for a 1''x 1'' tube.
Big thanks to coke, Du pont and many other mega corps for all their efforts to prioritize shareholder dividends over being a responsible and non planet polluting entity.❤
What a mess. Make creation of these new plastics illegal, keep recycling what is currently out there, and enact laws to switch back to glass.
The lab she works in is using plastics. I'm against plastics being in waterway, land, and oceans.
Seek out products that have a high reuse percentage. Plant based packaging, hold corporations responsible for waste from their products
revert to glass bottles.
is the problem Coca Cola or the politicians who in exchange for donations work in Coca Cola's financial interests instead of long term public interest.
If they're selling $120 billion bottles of Coca-Cola a year then they should be able to afford a 2 billion dollar cleanup of our oceans
If these drink companies really wanted to help with Plastics there is an easy way and that's to offer refill stations but then that would effect their profits which is the only thing they care about!!
They used to have the best recycling program ever then they went plastic.
Create a need and sell the product then put the blame on your customer.

Stop buying sugary bottled drinks. Stop buying the diet ones too. Bring water with you when possible. Get a nice metal thermos.
But most people don’t care, think it’s too late 🕰️ or that it’s the end times 🤪 or that none of this will matter once the asteroid ☄️ gets here.
Or they’re just lazy.
One for the algorithm
No accountability
.. Thats the world we live in.
Wow..
Shared, thank you…
Also, it's not that hard to not buy it… If ppl just learned that. No product can last on market if consumers don't buy it ❤
Also, when the ceo speaks about the plastic collectors, it reminds me of la belle verte movies scene with poop eaters, oh the irony
People just need to stop littering, and countries like the Philippines need to stop dumping into the ocean… Whether it’s recycled or goes into a landfill doesn’t really matter. Either way, it will not end up in a waterway or ocean. Garbage goes in the garbage can people
Need new low power low,,,😊
Wow coca cola is scummy, proceed to buy coca cola drink again.
Wanna see a recycling scandal?
Come to Souther Ontario, Canada. Goto ANY landfill site and watch the " Recycle Trucks" empty their haul RIGHT INTO THE LANDFILL.
Here are two locations just to get started, Taylor Rd. Landfill site, N.O.T.L.( or its St. Catharines)
Waste Management landfill site on Mountain Rd. Grimsby. Same thing. Just watch the trucks empty right into the landfill.
The Dump on Kenora in Hamilton takes its waste off site to dump as the Incinerator has been decommissioned I believe.
But ya, just to get ya started.
😢 oh no. Coca Cola has not been recycling their recycles when they were supposed to. would someone please think of the children.
Edit: is anyone really surprised that a mega corporation isn't following the rules?
Cheers 🍻
Coca Cola is just one of many corporations that are guilty of polluting our world, especially our oceans. Until governments start holding these companies responsible nothing will change. But governments are taking billions of dollars from these corporations, so why would they change anything.
Well done to Jounalist for tough questions !
Drink water from glass bottles in the best case, or simply filter water at home and skip the bottle.
Do not drink liquid sugar, dyes, preservatives, ect.
Water is enough.
Plastic will give you more than just polution, together with sugar you'll cancer, all for free.
Water taste better and if you need sugar, just eat regular meal instead.
Stopped watching atrer Greenpeace logo came up 🤮
I remember as a kid picking up bottles to turn in for money. 60s lol.
I reuse every glass jar and bottle I have, don’t use plastic.
I had friends who worked recycling centers decades ago who told me we don’t have the facilities that most of it still goes to landfill.
GLASS GLASS GLASS GLASS
CARDBOARD
Why is it surprising that companies put profit before any other consideration ? They HAVE to BY LAW.
So, let’s just stop consuming plastic bottled products? How’s that?
In this case it’s irrelevant where it originated. The individual or individual who did not discard the product properly is the responsible party. We went to plastic because the government determined years ago that glass was dangerous. So blame the government.
They don’t have deposit systems in America yet?? In EU we’ve had it forever.
Stop putting plastic in your recycling box it can’t be recycled and should be buried in the landfill so it won’t end up in the oceans.
