US rapport: Overzicht milieugerelateerde verpakkinspraktijken

While plastic packaging is the fastest growing form of packaging in the US largely due to the popularity of fast food and consumer beverages, only 14% of it is recycled. That contributes to an overall waste of $11.4 billion in potential recycling revenue every year, according to a new report.
The report, issued by As You Sow and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), reviews the packaging practices of 47 fast food/quick service restaurant chains, beverage companies, and consumer good/grocery companies, and highlights leaders and laggards in the field. The study also analyses systemic issues raising barriers to higher packaging recycling rates (Persbericht As You Sow, 29 januari 2015).
