While they could and should do better, this seems like another paper straw argument to shift blame to consumers. It’s all our fault for not recycling coke cans.
A problem that could be solved overnight by legislation. And yet, the consumers are to blame.
Something like the lead acid battery laws that make those batteries the most recycled item.
Force sellers to accept all the dead ones and create a mandatory recycling regime.
In some countries theirs already pickups so the logistics for all of this is already done.
