Some environmental groups have taken legal action against French bottled water and dairy group Danone over its plastic use, accusing it of failing to sufficiently account for all the plastic used along its production cycles
, environmental group Surfrider and its partners which include Client Earth and Zero Waste France, say they do not want to launch criminal proceedings against Danone.
"We want Danone to re-publish its compulsory duty of care report and specifically account for its plastic use, including a concrete strategy to reduce it," said Antidia Citores, the French spokeswoman for ocean protection campaign group Surfrider Foundation Europe. She added that Danone so far did not sufficiently account for all the plastic used along its production cycles from agriculture to packaging and was not telling the public how exactly it intends to reduce its use."Danone has long been recognised as a pioneer in environmental risk management", the company said in the statement to Reuters, adding it had brought down its plastic use by 12% between 2018 and 2021.
Danone had announced a goal for 2025 for every piece of its packaging to be reusable, recyclable or compostable.
