I am not a lawyer but I think it is hard to blame a company for what consumers do with their products after purchasing them.
And what about Coke? Don’t they make plastic bottles?
New York sues PepsiCo in effort to hold it responsible for litter that winds up in rivers |
I have seen Pepsi bottles placed in public trash bins atop of other trash. A gust of wind sends the bottles into the streets and some roll into the storm drains. On sidewalks along rivers, I have seen the plastic bottles littering the banks or getting washed into the river by the wind. Do I think Pepsico is responsible? Not sure. Maybe the city is responsible for not removing the trash before the public bins become overloaded. Or, not providing proper receptacles to deposit the empty bottles.
