你能想象15000頭藍鯨的體積嗎？這就是可口可樂一年用掉的塑料總量。

可口可樂公司日前首度披露了每年在產品包裝上用掉的塑料數(shù)量，與此同時，包括雀巢、巴寶莉、高露潔在內的多家企業(yè)也公開了自己用掉的塑料包裝數(shù)量，并承諾將采用更環(huán)保的包裝方式。

For the first time, Coca-Cola has revealed it used three million tonnes of plastic packaging in one year.
可口可樂首度透露，一年用于產品包裝的塑料有300萬噸。

It's part of a report by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation which is pushing for companies and governments to do more to tackle plastic pollution.

這一信息來自艾倫·麥克阿瑟基金會的報告，這份報告敦促企業(yè)和政府采取更多行動來應對塑料污染。

In total, 150 companies are pledging to reduce their plastic usage as part of the campaign.

在這次活動中，共150家企業(yè)承諾將減少塑料使用。

But some companies including Pepsi, L'Oreal and H&M haven't said how much plastic they use.

不過包括百事、歐萊雅和H&M在內的一些公司還沒有公布自己使用了多少塑料。

It's hard to visualize what three million tonnes looks like. But everyone can picture a blue whale.

Now picture 15,000 of them. That's roughly three million tonnes.

In 2018, the company announced a pledge to recycle a used bottle or can for each one the company sells by 2030.

2018年，可口可樂公司公開承諾，到2030年底，公司每賣出一瓶/罐飲料，就會回收一個用過的瓶/罐。

Coca-Cola markets 500 brands of fizzy drink, juices and water and says it will also work towards making all of its packaging recyclable worldwide.

可口可樂公司共有500個品牌的汽水、果汁和飲用水在市場上出售，該公司表示，將爭取把世界范圍內的可口可樂包裝都變成可回收利用的。

Many companies have been committing to being more green after concerns about plastic waste were highlighted in shows such as the BBC's Blue Planet 2, narrated by Sir David Attenborough.

此前，由愛登堡爵士解說的BBC《藍色星球2》等節(jié)目凸顯了塑料廢物的問題，引發(fā)了人們的擔憂。許多企業(yè)已承諾將變得更環(huán)保。

In February 2019, Nestle got rid of plastic straws from its products and is using paper ones instead.

2019年2月，雀巢摒棄了產品中的塑料吸管，用紙吸管取而代之。

Burberry was criticized in 2018, when it said it destroyed unsold clothes, accessories and perfume worth ￡28.6m to protect its brand.

2018年，巴寶莉因自稱為了保護品牌而毀掉價值2860萬英鎊（2.5億元人民幣）的未售服裝、飾品和香水而受到了批評。
