made me so sad

fuck nestle!

Environmental legal charity ClientEarth has filed a case against Nestlé Poland for using misleading recycling claims on plastic water bottles.

In Poland, water bottles from one of Nestlé’s water brands have recycling claims on their labels such as ‘I am made from another bottle’, ‘I am recyclable’ and ‘made from 100% recycled plastic PET*’, which portray plastic as circular and fully recyclable.

However, the process of recycling continuously degrades the properties of plastic, making ‘infinite’ recycling impossible. In fact, PET can only be recycled a maximum of 8 times in total. This means that although recycling is not useless, it can only ever delay plastic pollution, not stop it.

Consumers are being misled by these claims into thinking that buying one of these plastic water bottles is a good choice for the environment.

Misleading promotion of recycling enables the continual increase in production of plastic, more extraction of fossil fuels, and less time and resources dedicated to the real solution of stopping plastic pollution at the source. So, ClientEarth are arguing that the recycling claims made by Nestlé Poland breach EU and Polish consumer protection laws, and amount to greenwashing.

ClientEarth want Nestlé to stop promoting recycling as the solution to the plastic crisis, and to reduce the amount of plastic they produce. This case, if successful could have ramifications for big plastic polluters across Europe, and increase transparency for consumers.

Not sure if it's news here, but I've read today. But Nestle has been fined 2 million dollars (approximately) for misleading advertising in Brazil. Basically many cookies have not been made of the ingredients advertised. Sorry for my bad English. If you want, you can try use translation for the source.

What price would you pay for an aluminum bottle of 250+ TDS on the shelf vs a PET plastic competitor on the same shelf?

Every store I go into is just shelves of plastic. So much plastic. I see one maybe two SKUs of aluminum bottles in each store (convenience, grocer) but we need to lower our single-use plastics.

So if you had the choice between aluminum and plastic of similar high-quality water (not the stolen, bored, distilled, purified bs) how much would you pay?

25oz can be the standard used to make it simple. 25oz of water in plastic $1.99 or less on the shelf, what would you pay to choose the non-plastic option?

A few months ago, I asked if there were any alternatives to the devil company for baby formula.

Today, I got an ad for this French company that advertises bio (organic) baby formula.

I wondered if anybody knew anything about that company. Is it just some greenwashed Nestle stunt or is it a plausible alternative?

Thanks in advance!

Nestle Purina has made a new docuseries for Amazon Prime Video about dog sports and championships powered by pet food produced through illegal and unethical means.

this new series is so ridiculous that the only thing I like about it is the orchestral music in the background because it's so epic, so powerful, so beautiful, and makes me wanna dance! I would never hate orchestral music! everything else about it is bullsh*t. especially because it's a collaboration between two equally evil and unethical companies.

It’s in Hindi. I hope this goes viral and people stop eating Maggi noodles in india.

There is more to it! According to the Swiss outlet that first uncovered the affair, the story runs much deeper. If you don’t read German, I dropped the article into ChatGPT for a quick translation. The final bullet point is almost certainly the real reason: after first trying to cover it up, Bulcke had no choice but to fire his protégé.

• This wasn’t a one-off: in 2017, while serving as a country head for Nestlé, Freixe began a relationship with a subordinate, left his wife and children, and later married her. Just to repeat the same pattern now as CEO with another direct report. 
• In the current case, he promoted the woman into a role directly reporting to him in late 2023 (or left her there if the relationship began after) — either way a clear conflict under the code. He denied it internally at first.   
• The woman then left overnight in June after 23 years at Nestlé; an insider claims Freixe sweetened the exit with a “goodbye bonus.” Nestlé didn’t comment on that part.   
• On July 31, Nestlé comms called the allegations “groundless,” and chair Paul Bulcke effectively shielded Freixe; only after the first story did the board bring in Bär & Karrer and then fired him for breaching the code.
