Environmental Groups Sue Danone in France for Failing to Curb Plastic Use
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Three environmental groups are suing French company Danone for failing
to reduce its plastic footprint. The yogurt and bottled water maker was
recently found to be one of the worst plastic polluters, along with
Coca-Cola, Pepsi Co and Nestlé. The lawsuit is being filed under
France's 2017 "duty of vigilance" law, which requires companies to track
and reduce human rights and environmental violations. The company
markets its products in the U.S. as Dannon.
