AMERICA RECYCLES DAY
SEND IT BACK CAMPAIGN
| "We need to
let companies know that we want them to use recycled material in their products." |
Did you know that:
1. Over 25 billion plastic soda bottles are sold every year in the United States. That's enough bottles to circle the earth over 190 times!
2. More than 1.7 million plastic soda bottles are thrown away every hour in the United States.
3. There is NO RECYCLED PLASTIC in Pepsi bottles sold in the United States
4. On May 2, 2001 Investors holding 83.3 million shares of PepsiCo, Inc., worth 3.7 billion dollars, voted to support a shareholder resolution on recycling at the company's annual meeting.
5. In 2001 Coca-Cola announced that it will use 10 percent recycled plastic in its bottles.
The IWMA believes that a major business institution such as Pepsi, who packages vast quantities of its products in plastic bottles, should be setting a recycling example for others to follow. Send It Back urges Pepsi and, by extension, the rest of the American soft drink industry, to "walk the talk."
| If you want
Pepsi to stop using our limited virgin resources to make soda bottles and help support the recycling industry by buying and using recycled plastic, Pepsi needs to hear from you! |
Take The Pepsi Challenge

label, tape it on a 2-liter Pepsi bottle,
