Talking about how everyone eats gummy bears. The GOLD-BEARS produced in a year were laid head to toe they would go around the earth 4 times! That's 99,610 miles!
99,610
IMAGINE.... There are 17-18 pieces, per packet and they produce 1,000,0000 gummy bears per year how much plastic packaging will the use?
17-18
A lot of Plastic Waste....
The product itself, the gummy bears goes, we eat them they go into our mouths, and it goes into our digestive system, and so on.......
What has HARIBO done to reduce the packaging plastic waste?
They are committed to waste elimination, reduction, and recycling.
They are signatories to the Courtauld Commitment 3, a Government funded resource efficiency and waste reduction agreement, and are working with WRAP, our supply chain and the other signatories to achieve the agreement's targets.
We have invested in waste segregation facilities within our factory and offices.
All of our packings is marked with a reminder to always bin or recycle the empty packaging.
Bin or recycle your Gummy bears !!
If they gummy bears packaging does not get recycled then it goes to a landfill..... Where things get worse
When an organic material such as food scraps and green waste is put in a landfill, it is generally compacted down and covered. This removes the oxygen and causes it to break down in an anaerobic process. Which then releases methane
25
1/3
1/3 of an average dump is made out of packaging materials!
Greenhouse gases are 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide.It is 25 times more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide
As it can be seen recycling plastic takes a lot of time (in terms of the process) and money. Therefore most companies and people would just put their trash in a bin and it will then end up in a landfill
