Description
Summary:	Despite mountains of evidence and action against plastic pollution, in January 2020, Bea Perez, Head of Sustainability at Coca-Cola, declared that the brand would not stop selling their product in plastic bottles because that is the way customers wanted to purchase the product. This case provides materials to host a court-case format in class with a prosecution and defence team, in order to put Coca-Cola on trial for the responsibility of plastic waste following use by the customer. The case covers issues of plastic pollution, sustainability, product stewardship, extended producer responsibility, and circularity. A live jury deliberation presents an opportunity for discussion and students may vote on the final verdict.
