Have you heard about the plastic alternative called Vivomer? 👀 This sustainable solution uses microbes to create a zero-waste, home-compostable material. 🦠 This packaging never becomes waste — it completely disappears once composted. It is an incredible asset in the fight against plastic pollution! Watch the full reel here explaining this innovation in detail: https://lnkd.in/e5aYJy2A.

Why do we need plastic credits? 🤔 Plastic credits are an important tool to prevent global plastic pollution. Think of them like a certificate - representing the collection of a specified weight of plastic waste that has been recovered. When CleanHub’s brand partners purchase these credits, it allows them to take immediate action against plastic waste. How? By enabling brands to provide much-needed investments in waste collection in the areas that we operate in. As Joel said - "We are not loaded with gold - I am sitting on trash." Point being - we need plastic credits to provide financing for waste management infrastructure where it doesn’t exist yet. As always - #forcleanoceans 🌊 #cleanoceans #climateaction 

As this powerful Earth Day video shows, plastics pollution is not just a threat to nature and biodiversity – it poses risks to human health. 👇 We can all do our bit to tackle the problem, such as by choosing plastic-free products that can be recycled more easily. Investors can help support companies in their efforts to switch from single-use plastics and offer sustainable alternatives. They can also use their voices to advocate for regulatory and legal changes to reduce plastic pollution across all sectors. ♻️ At Aviva Investors, we are working collaboratively with other investors and stakeholders to encourage firms to reduce their consumption of single-use packaging, implement re-use systems for packaging and phase out hazardous chemicals in plastics, and to call for robust action to end plastic pollution at global level. 🤝 https://bit.ly/49Px2ts #EarthDay #PlanetvsPlastics #ItTakesAvivaInvestors

🌍🚫 Today is International Plastic Bag Free Day! Did you know that every day, the equivalent of 2,000 garbage trucks full of plastic are dumped into our oceans, rivers, and lakes? Plastic waste harms marine life, ecosystems, and threatens global food production and human well-being. Annually, 19-23 million tonnes of plastic leak into aquatic ecosystems, exacerbating this environmental crisis. On this day, let's take a stand against plastic pollution by reducing single-use plastics. Together, we can make a significant impact on reducing plastic waste and protecting our planet's health. Choose reusable bags and promote sustainable practices for a cleaner, greener future. At SpectraPulse Ventures, we're committed to taking meaningful action. We are soon entering into a collaboration with innovators to deploy solutions for plastic garbage removal and safe disposal. Stay tuned for more details on how we will make a positive impact on our planet. 🌱💙 #InternationalPlasticBagFreeDay #SayNoToPlastic #ReducePlasticPollution #SustainableFuture

☘️Greener planet =  Sustainable future☘️ Picture a world free from the clutter of plastic debris, where our oceans and forests thrive without the burden of discarded bottles and bags. This year, we are addressing one of the most pressing environmental issues: the overwhelming presence of plastic waste. Our environment urgently needs our collective action. On this World Environment Day, let's focus on creating a cleaner, healthier world by tackling plastic pollution. At KIG Kraft Tech Containers Pvt Ltd, we are dedicated to this cause by producing eco-friendly, recyclable corrugated boxes, reducing the need for plastic packaging. By opting for sustainable packaging solutions, you can join us in making a tangible difference. Together, we can create a sustainable future! Happy World Environment Day! 🌿🌍 #WorldEnvironmentDay #BeatPlasticPollution #Sustainability #KIG

International Plastic Free Day Plastic is so ubiquitous that it has become an essential component of our daily lives, but the waste generated from it has reached staggering levels. Globally, we produce about 242 million tonnes of plastic every year, a large percentage of which enters the ocean when they’re disposed of. Plastic currently accounts for 85% of all marine litter and is on track to triple by 2040, adding 23-37 million metric tons of waste into the ocean per year. Aside from the fact that plastic takes hundreds of years to decompose, it also poses great health risks to marine animals, where they can accidentally ingest or disrupt ecosystems #InternationalPlasticFreeDay #PlasticFreeEarth #25thMay2024 #PollutionFreeWorld #Earth

Plastic fantastic? Not this July! ♻️ 'Plastic Free July' is a global movement challenging us to rethink our reliance on single-use plastics. While Keenan Recycling Ltd tackles food waste, plastic pollution remains another environmental monster. Here's the challenge: Can we go a step further this July? Challenge yourself: Can you ditch plastic water bottles at work and bring a reusable one? Spread awareness: Share tips on reducing plastic use with colleagues and customers. Get creative: Think of innovative ways to minimise plastic use in our daily operations. Remember, small changes add up! Every plastic straw refused, every reusable bag utilised, is a victory for our planet. #PlasticFreeJuly #KeenanRecycling #BeatPlasticPollution

**Rubbish????** Yes, these are bags filled with plastics! In an era where plastic waste has become a global crisis, it's essential to rethink our waste and its potential. Recognising this, I have taken proactive steps to support indigenous plastic processing companies by supplying them with plastics collected from home. This initiative not only aids in waste reduction but also fosters local businesses that are pivotal in addressing the plastic waste challenge. Transforming plastic waste into a valuable resource is not just an individual effort but a collective one. By supporting indigenous plastic processing companies with plastics from home, we take a significant step towards sustainability. Encouraging others to join in amplifies the impact, fostering a community that prioritises environmental health and economic resilience. Together, we can turn rubbish into a resource and create a cleaner, more sustainable world. #esg #greenghana
