ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York state sued PepsiCo on Wednesday in an effort to
hold the soda-and-snack food giant partly responsible for litter that winds up
in bodies of water supplying the city of Buffalo with drinking water.

The lawsuit, filed in state Supreme Court by Attorney General Letitia James,
accuses the company and its Frito-Lay subsidiaries of creating a public nuisance
by making a huge number of plastic bottles and wrappers, some of which
inevitably fall or blow into the Buffalo River when they are discarded.
Simply by making so much plastic, the company is hurting the environment, the
lawsuit argues.
“No company is too big to ensure that their products do not damage our
environment and public health. All New Yorkers have a basic right to clean
water, yet PepsiCo’s irresponsible packaging and marketing endanger Buffalo’s
water supply, environment, and public health,” James said in a statement.

PepsiCo said in a statement that it was serious about “plastic reduction and
effective recycling.” It didn’t directly comment on the lawsuit’s claim that it
was legally responsible for keeping garbage out of the Buffalo River.
PepsiCo, which is headquartered in New York, produces and packages at least 85
different beverage brands including Gatorade and Pepsi products, and at least 25
snack food brands that mostly come in plastic containers meant to be thrown away
or recycled once they are empty.
In past years, the company has repeatedly pledged that it would make meaningful
strides to reduce its use of plastics.
The lawsuit alleges that the opposite is happening, and that PepsiCo misled the
public about its efforts to combat plastic pollution.
Litter from many sources end up in the Buffalo River, but the attorney general’s
office said a 2022 survey named PepsiCo as the single largest identifiable
contributor to its plastic waste. Of the 1,916 pieces of plastic waste
containing an identifiable brand, 17.1% were produced by PepsiCo, according to
the survey. McDonald’s came in a distant second, the lawsuit said.
Researchers say that some discarded plastic breaks down into tiny particles,
called microplastics, which are small enough to be ingested. Microplastics have
been found in Lake Erie, which supplies Buffalo’s drinking water, as well as in
fish species that are known to inhabit the lake, according to the lawsuit.
The Buffalo River, which empties into Lake Erie, was once considered one of the
most polluted rivers in the United States, though restoration efforts begun in
1989 have been restoring its ecosystem.
James, a Democrat, wants PepsiCo to warn customers about the potential health
and environmental risks of its packaging. It also wants the court to force the
company to develop a plan to keep its packaging out of the Buffalo River.
The lawsuit also seeks financial penalties and restitution.
“Our Buffalo community fought for over 50 years to secure hundreds of millions
of dollars to clean up toxic pollution, improve habitat, and restore communities
around the Buffalo River,” said Jill Jedlicka, executive director of Buffalo
Niagara Waterkeeper, in a statement. “We will not sit idly by as our waterways
become polluted again, this time from ever-growing single-use plastic
pollution.”
