Plastic bottles are dangerous as climate change
Researchers at Gent University recently estimated that people who eat seafood ingest more than 10.000 tiny pieces of plastic every year. There has been growing interest about the impact of plastics pollution in oceans around the world. Last month scientists found nearly 18 tonnes of plastic on an uninhabited coral atoll in the South Pacific.
Plastic drinking bottles could be made out of 100% recycled plastic, known as RPet – and campaigners are pressing big drinks companies to radically increase the amount of recycled plastic in their bottles. But brands are hostile to using RPet for cosmetic reasons because they want their products in shiny, clear plastic, according to Steve Morgan, of Recoup in the UK.
