" Nothing like Circular Economy "? watch to the end an give your opinion in the comments section

“There is no such thing as a circular economy.”   For decades, corporates have been promoting the recycling myth to circumvent responsibilities and keep the plastic tap flowing business as usual.    But if we want to talk about a circular economy and envision true innovation, we need to break free from plastic and its toxic chemicals. Instead, we need materials made from nutrients—free from harmful additives—designed to nourish the Earth, not pollute it.   The good news is scientists have already created remarkable, bio-based alternatives. Companies like NBCo, Sparxell, and Shellworks are leading the way towards truly “circular” future.   Listen to our co-founder, Sian Sutherland, to learn more.

As September rolls in, we are reminded of the silent threat lurking beneath our oceans — microplastics. These tiny, almost invisible particles have found their way into the food chain, harming marine life and eventually ending up on our plates. This month is dedicated to raising awareness about the dangers of microplastics and how they affect our environment and health. At Sonali, we are committed to fighting plastic pollution by promoting sustainable alternatives. Let’s work together to reduce plastic waste and protect our planet! #Microplastics #Sustainability #SonaliBioplastics #PlasticPollution

🌊 One year ago today, the awe-inspiring #TheBlueParadox exhibit on the ocean plastic waste crisis was unveiled at Griffin Museum of Science and Industry. Since then, nearly 300k visitors and stakeholders have experienced the exhibit, with 200K+ pledging to take action, such as encouraging government leaders to implement federal recycling initiatives, getting involved in local efforts or taking personal steps to reduce plastic waste. Together with Conservation International, we are proud to highlight this critical issue and the actions needed to solve it. It’s going to take all of us—governments, businesses, and consumers—working together to turn the tide. Explore ways you can get involved: https://bit.ly/4cMaBHt

In areas where people are unaware of the consequences of their plastic waste attitudes, education is key. 📚 Engage communities through informative campaigns, workshops, and interactive sessions to raise awareness about the environmental impact of plastic. 🌱 Encourage sustainable practices like recycling and reusable alternatives while highlighting the long-term benefits for the planet and future generations. 🌍 Foster a sense of responsibility and stewardship towards the environment, inspiring individuals to make conscious choices that reduce plastic pollution. #YourPlanetEarth #planetearth #PlasticAwareness #BehavioralChange . 👍 Follow @yourplanet.earth for more 🙏 Turn on notifications for future updates 

🌍 This Earth Day, we wanted to highlight the importance of protecting our planet, specifically from plastic waste in our environment. Plastic has become a major problem for our oceans, endangering marine life and ecological balance. There are between 75 and 199 million tonnes of plastic polluting our waters — a significant portion of all marine waste. What's more, billions of micro-plastic particles float on the surface, invisible but deeply threatening to our marine ecosystems. In the face of this dangerous reality, we at Saur are taking concrete action. Thanks to innovative strategies, we intercept plastics as soon as they enter our aquatic ecosystems. Cutting-edge technologies, such as Ultrafiltration, allow us to capture microplastics, mantaining the integrity of our water resources. Our action is not limited to technology. We believe in the importance of raising awareness locally, just like our initiatives in Portugal. Through awareness programs and reflecting on existing behavior, we encourage citizens to adopt responsible habits and join us in our fight against plastic pollution. 🤝 Together, with evidence-based solutions and community engagement, we can truly make a difference to protect our oceans and environment. Our mission is clear: to treat water with the respect it deserves by focusing on its preservation. #EarthDay #PlanetVsPlastics #MissionWater

🤝 Collaborating for Clean Oceans The Poseidon Plastic Tracking System supports governments, NGOs, public health, and conservancy organizations in tackling both the growing plastic crisis – and helps get ahead of the health complications that plastic contamination may cause. We invite stakeholders to collaborate and drive forward policies that mitigate the risks from #plastic #pollution. Let’s work together for cleaner oceans and healthier communities.

Here are 4 easy ways you can participate in #PlasticFreeJuly this year! The initiative aims to raise awareness about the environmental impact of plastic pollution. The goal is to inspire individuals, communities, and businesses to adopt more #sustainable practices and create long-lasting habits that lead to a reduction in plastic waste and a healthier planet. Spread the word (not the plastic!)

Last week's #SeaOfSolutions 2024 kicked off with inspiring discussions and impactful sessions aimed at addressing the global plastic pollution crisis. From high-level dialogues on international efforts to end plastic pollution, to in-depth explorations of circular business models and innovative reuse systems, the day set the tone for regional and global action. Here are some of the Day 1 highlights.
