The company makes the plastic bottles, which don’t need to be plastic, and then uses marketing to promote consumption. The people are not to blame for being exploited by the scheme of the corporations. If this company stopped existing tomorrow, I’m sure people would consume less just from the lack of advertisement.
If they stopped existing tomorrow another company would step in and advertise just as much. This only changes with government intervention or the better but unlikely solution of consumer attitude changes towards littering.
People don’t throw it into nature. You can throw it into the recycling bin and still end up in the ocean, because realistically we can’t (at the very least, in a an economically viable way) recycle everything even on the best scenarios.
If we were to charge coca cola the real cost of fully getting rid of the bottle in a way that doesn’t create pollution, they would likely shift to other materials that cost a bit more but can be handled better.
Now replace coca cola for every large company in the world.
