Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing problems of the 21st Century with plastic waste becoming near ubiquitous. It is estimated that just in 2016, the world produced over 320 million tons of plastic, and this number is set to double by 2034.

塑料污染已经成为21世纪最紧迫的问题之一，而且塑料垃圾几乎无处不在。据估计，仅在2016年，全球塑料产量就超过3.2亿吨，而且到2034年，这一数字将翻倍。

Plastic waste even makes its way into our oceans with 8 million pieces of plastic pollution per day polluting our waters and destroying the habitat for hundreds of species. It is now believed that there may be around 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic in the ocean weighing in total up to 269,000 tonnes.

塑料垃圾甚至还流进了大海中，而且每天有800万件塑料垃圾污染着我们的水域，还破坏了数百个物种的栖息地。人们认为，如今海洋中大约有5.25万亿件塑料垃圾，总重量达26.9万吨。

It's been crystal clear for a long time that the situation is dire and something needs to be done, and fast. Luckily, Coca-Cola stepped up to the challenge and came up with one innovative and rather effective solution. The firm is replacing its plastic wrapping in Europe with a new paper board technology.

长期以来，形势一直非常严峻，需要尽快采取行动。幸运的是，可口可乐公司接受了挑战，并想出了一个新颖且有效的解决方案。该公司正使用一种新的纸板技术替代其在欧洲使用的塑料包装。
