However, SAS claims that 'about 90% of the cost of packaging package processing is borne by the local government.' It is the taxpayer who bears the cost of handling the trash collected on the beach.

SAS submits survey results to the British government. The UK government is looking at ways to reduce the problem of waste pollution through Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations. A Coca-Cola spokesman says, “The garbage from Coca-Cola products doesn't want to tarnish the land or the sea. Coca-Cola announces the use of packages such as wrapping paper. It is one of the few companies in the world, both locally and globally, that Coca-Cola supports the reform of Extended Producer Responsibility.
Coca-Cola uses 3 million tons of plastic packaging annually. At the same time, in order to aim for a “ wasteless society ” (WTO), we have announced initiatives such as “ bottle-to-bottle ”.
