A Wake-Up Call in the Woods: Confronting Our Throwaway Culture for a Sustainable Future Yesterday, my family and I were enjoying a walk in the forest, admiring the stunning views over the fields. Amidst this natural beauty, we encountered something that starkly contrasted with the serene landscape: an unsettling sight made of old clothes and discarded plastic parts left behind. This jarring element amidst the beauty made me reflect on the importance of preserving nature and considering the impact of our actions on the future. I have recently seen a post about this: In Switzerland, every person throws away about 700 kg of stuff every year. That's a lot more than in other places in Europe. If everyone in the world did that, we would need almost three more Earths to deal with all the trash! According to this post.   Working in the textile industry and developing machines, I follow this closely. Less than 1% of old clothes are made into new ones. People say we need to get better at recycling—aiming for between 50% and 80% of what we use by the year 2030. It's a big challenge for the next years.   So, who's going to help solve this big problem? It's very important for companies to find new ways to recycle more.   Also, it's crucial for us, especially the younger people, to learn again how to use less, generate less waste, and recycle more. Teaching ourselves and others how not to waste things is a big step in making sure we leave a healthy planet for the people who come after us. #SustainabilityInAction #CircularEconomy #GreenInnovation #FutureLeaders #EnvironmentalImpact #IndustryChange

Earth Day isn't just a day; it’s a movement, and we are here for it. We kicked off our 'Earth Month ecoBoss Battle' last week, a two-week challenge where we’ll record our daily actions on the ecoBoss app to contribute to a greener planet. 🌳 This year, the focus is on the dangers plastics pose to our health, biodiversity, and environment, and we are making sure to ditch single-use plastics and promote sustainable fashion. While we know our efforts are just a small part of the larger mission to cut global plastic production by 60% by 2040, we believe in the power of setting an example for those around us. 🌎 If you want to learn more about ecoBoss for you facility, connect with us ➡ https://lnkd.in/g4JfBzs6 #earthmonth #earthday #platicdetox #sustainability #netzero #creatinggoodenergy #decarbonization

🌿 Everyday Sustainability: Unnoticed but Impactful 🌿 In our daily lives, we often engage in sustainable practices without even realizing it. Take a look at this picture: an old plastic bucket repurposed as a pot for plants. This simple act of reusing an item instead of discarding it not only extends its life but also reduces waste. Sustainability doesn't always require grand gestures; sometimes, it's about the small, everyday decisions we make. Whether it's turning old containers into planters, using cloth bags instead of plastic, or finding creative ways to reuse materials, these actions contribute significantly to a healthier planet. Let's celebrate and encourage these little steps toward sustainability that collectively make a big difference. Share your own examples of unnoticed sustainable practices in the comments! #Sustainability #EcoFriendly #Reuse #EverydayActions #GreenLiving

Imagine a planet with 60% less plastic... On this Earth Day Earth Day Network advocates for a 60% reduction in the production of ALL plastics by 2024 in order to improve human and planet health. Plastics fill every corner of our world, from our oceans to our landfills, posing a HUGE threat to marine life, ecosystems, and ultimately, our own health. The textile industry, a significant contributor to plastic pollution, also demands our attention. So, WHAT can WE do? It starts with each one of us embracing sustainable practices in our professional lives. Aligning with the sustainable strategy, reducing conventional material use, aiming to implement circular designs and minimizing waste wherever possible. Make conscious choices when selecting materials. Opt for fibers with a lower environmental impact, such as recycled cotton over virgin cotton, to reduce our ecological footprint. Let's take concrete steps towards sustainability this Earth Day. It's not just about raising awareness but about implementing meaningful actions for a cleaner, more responsible future in fashion. #worldearthday #earthday #sustainablebusiness #sustainableindustry

On Earth Day 2024, we rally behind the theme "Planet vs. Plastics". The goal is to reduce plastic use by 60% by 2040.  We can all do our part in reducing plastic waste through the rejection of fast fashion, avoiding single use plastics and by living a plastic free lifestyle.  We can make a difference if we individually change what we consume. #earthday2024

Upcycling plastics is an innovative approach to sustainability, transforming discarded plastic waste into valuable, high-quality products. Upcycling creatively repurposes plastics into items with greater utility or aesthetic value. From fashion accessories and home décor to construction materials, upcycling reduces waste, conserves resources, and promotes a circular economy. By turning plastic trash into treasure, we not only address environmental challenges but also unlock new possibilities for sustainable living. #Upcycling #PlasticWaste #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #PlasticRecycling #RepurposePlastic #SustainableLiving #RACE #raceconferences #Polymerupdate

Something I shot. In the UK, approximately 5 million tonnes of plastic waste is generated each year. This Earth Day, the UK is shining a spotlight on innovative solutions to plastic waste, with brands like Beauty Reorganised leading the charge. This pioneering brand is transforming the narrative around plastic by recycling waste into stylish, compact makeup organizers. Their latest campaign features a striking and inspirational image: envision a modern-day Lady of the Lake, emerging not from water but a sea of plastic, triumphantly lifting a chic beauty organizer instead of Excalibur. Beauty Reorganised’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond the image. The campaign was brought to life at BAD STAR Studios, a hub that runs on renewable energy. Every detail, from the local crew to the catering, was chosen to minimize environmental impact. The dramatic sea of plastic depicted in the image was gathered from just two weeks of waste from ten households, all of which was recycled post-shoot to ensure zero contribution to landfill. With this campaign, Beauty Reorganised isn’t just promoting a product but spearheading a movement towards sustainable production in the beauty industry. Their innovative approach not only recycles plastic waste but also inspires the creative industries to rethink and reshape their environmental impact. Let’s celebrate these positive strides towards a greener future this Earth Day! #sustainability #worldearthday
