I am writing to you concerning the usage of plastic bottles in your business. I am becoming more concerned of this because your company is producing over 100 billion bottles in a single year. When I learned this startling fact I couldn't help to think that you can be one of the major contributors in the sheer amount of bottles in landfills, and in the ocean. I want to offer a few suggestions to you to help combat the issue so the environment can be saved.
As you know your company produces a lot of bottles, and all of the bottles are made out of a plastic called PET which is a petroleum based plastic, and can't be broken down easily. My suggestion is that in your production of bottles use a paper bottle instead of a plastic one. I already know that you are using 30% recyclable materials in your bottles, and even though it helps the environment a little bit there is still 70% of the bottle which is PET based. Using a paper bottle for drinks means even if a person throws it away in the normal trash it still will be able to be broken down in a landfill because paper is fully recyclable, and biodegradable. Statistics show that 91% of plastic bottle that are made, and thrown away are going into landfills, and with the paper bottle that number will go down because the bottles can break down a lot easier and faster than normal plastic bottles.
