We are drowning in plastic

"Poison the river, and it will poison you"  

We live surrounded by plastic, a material invented 150 years ago that was a revolution because it is resistant, light and cheap.polyethylene, polyester, polypropylene or polyvinyl chloride, are more present in our daily lives than we think.

Most of this abandoned waste ends up in the seas, where waves and wind erode it into tiny fragments known as microplastics.We are certain that the only way to combat plastic pollution is to reduce its production at source, that is, to prevent the production of more non-essential single-use plastics, with smart packaging, packaging and bottling alternatives that are 100% reusable and effectively recyclable.

That is why we decided to create this campaign""to provide information about how plastic waste is seriously affecting our planet.In the first instance by implementing some strategies as mentioned in a section of the blog, which is reusing plastic bottles by making eco-bricks with them.

These can be used for various things, from making a planter to make a wall, in order to start a change from us, because if we do not start to change ourselves from scratch with the environment, no one will do it. As a team we decided to propose the use of biodegradable plastics because they are made from renewable raw materials such as wheat, corn or cornstarch, soybean oil, potatoes, bananas or cassava.

Join us and choose to use biodegradable bottles or plasticizers, as well as reuse as much as possible, remember that it is not only your home, but everyone's home.

You must start by reusing your water bottle.

You can also collect bottle caps and recycle them

Don't give up what you can do today
