The CO 2 reality.<br />

Much less CO 2 is emitted in the manufacture<br />

of plastic packagings than in the manufacture<br />

of the products. The packaging for 1 kg of beef<br />

releases just about 200 g CO . 2<br />

Each year, each person „produces“<br />

9.7 tonnes of CO 2 . Plastic packagings account<br />

for just about 0.3 per cent of this.<br />

.<br />

0,3%<br />

of which plastic<br />

packaging<br />

If we look at the entire CO consumption of a<br />

2<br />

German citizen over a year, plastic packagings<br />

play only a very minor role. This is shown by a<br />

scientific study: With a per capita consumption<br />

of 9.7 tonnes, this is just 0.3 per cent.<br />
