To mark the start of Plastic Free July<\/a>, Greenpeace has released a startling video showing Auckland\u2019s Eden Park stadium filled with around one billion single-use plastic bottles.<\/h2>\n

The short CGI video vividly illustrates the number of throwaway single-use plastic bottles sold in New Zealand every year by corporations such as Coca-Cola.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo avoid using real plastic bottles, we have rendered the video with CGI, but the picture it paints is very real,\u201d explained Greenpeace spokesperson Juressa Lee.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly a small portion of single-use plastic is ever recycled, but all of it inevitably breaks down into microplastic pollution.\u201d<\/p>\n
