Why Plastic free?
Not only is plastic burying the earth’s surface under a layer of non-biodegradable waste, it is also saturating our oceans and soils with tiny plastic particles.Plastic particles are working their way into the food chain and placing many of mankind’s primary food sources and their respective ecosystems at risk of contamination and collapse. Plastic landfill sites also release harmful chemicals into surrounding soil. This contaminates groundwater and nearby water sources, impacting all those species that are reliant on them. There will be more plastic in the ocean than fish by 2050.
Only ±10% of all the plastic packaging produced is recycled, while 40% ends up in landfills, and a shocking 32% finds its way into the environment as ‘mismanaged plastic waste’. This completely unsustainable situation will slowly but steadily contaminate the entire animal kingdom including ourselves.
