More than 25 major consumer brands and petrochemicals have been traced to fracking in the Permian Basin, one of the world's 'carbon bombs'. View on euronews
The article from MSN discusses a report by the Environmental Integrity Project (EIP) which reveals that major consumer brands like Coca-Cola, Unilever, and PepsiCo are linked to plastic pollution through their use of plastic packaging, much of which ends up in landfills or is burned, contributing to environmental degradation. The investigation highlights that these companies' plastic waste is often processed in facilities that are connected to fracking operations in Texas. These facilities not only handle the plastic waste but also emit pollutants that contribute to air and water pollution. The report criticizes these corporations for not taking sufficient responsibility for the lifecycle of their products, particularly the disposal phase, and calls for more stringent regulations and corporate accountability to manage and reduce plastic pollution effectively.
