It is the company's responsability for people dumping the plastic. If they made as much publicity for responsible disposal as they do for comsumption of their products, people would be better. They can also produce less or in better recipients.
The company makes the plastic bottles, which don't need to be plastic, and then uses marketing to promote consumption. The people are not to blame for being exploited by the scheme of the corporations. If this company stopped existing tomorrow, I'm sure people would consume less just from the lack of advertisement.

it's not social because everything is bots and ai slop /s
