We ask whether global food companies can successfully eliminate single-use plastic. Bea Perez is chief sustainability officer at Coca Cola, and says the firm is trying to create a circular economy around plastics. Veronique Cremades-Mathis is global head of sustainable packaging at Nestle, and tells us the food giant is considering reusable packaging. Simon Howson-Green is a specialist crisis management consultant and argues that corporate efforts around plastics are about damage limitation. And we get the perspective of Melati Wijsen, an 18-year-old Indonesian/Dutch activist, who co-founded Bye Bye Plastic Bags when she was aged just 12.
