The goal of Plastic Free July is to raise awareness about the problems caused by single-use plastics and to encourage people to adopt more sustainable habits. Participants pledge to avoid single-use plastics for the entire month, finding innovative and practical ways to minimize their plastic footprint. This initiative is not about achieving perfection but about making better choices that collectively lead to significant positive impacts on our environment. #plasticfreeJuly #SingleUsePlastics

We believe ending plastic waste depends on building a #CircularEconomy for plastics. We're determined to play a transformational role and drive action with our value chain partners. To that end, we are collaborating with Alliance to End Plastic Waste as they develop solutions that are environmentally beneficial, socially responsible, and economically replicable. In their latest Progress Report, read about the steps the organization has taken to #EndPlasticWaste: https://ow.ly/EFLF50Phq1M

#snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking REDUCING PLASTICPOLLUTION Reducing plastic pollution involves implementing strategies to minimize the use of single-use plastics, encouraging recycling, and promoting alternatives such as biodegradable materials. This effort aims to mitigate the environmental impact of plastic waste on ecosystems, marine life, and human health. Public awareness, policy changes, and sustainable practices play vital roles in achieving a significant reduction in plastic pollution.

The production, use and disposal of plastics products have led to widespread contamination of the environment, particularly in oceans and waterways. Plastics do not biodegrade easily; instead they break down into smaller pieces known as microplastics that persist in the environment for hundreds of years. This has severe consequences, including harm to marine life, contamination of the food chain, pollution of soil and water, and significant economic impacts.     The plastic pollution crisis demands immediate action. Let's work together to reduce plastic waste, promote sustainability, and create a cleaner future for all. #Pavingtheroadtosustainaiblity

🌍 Join us for Plastic Free July! 🌍 Today marks the beginning of Plastic Free July, a global movement empowering millions to reduce their plastic waste. At AION, our entire business revolves around plastic – recycling and creating fully circular plastic products, helping create a better resource economy around plastic waste and driving the world away from it's current "take-make-waste" setup. Plastic Free July provides resources and ideas to help reduce single-use plastic waste every day at home or at work. With 100+ million participants in 190 countries, this movement shows that collective efforts lead to substantial impacts. Overall resulting in cleaner streets and oceans 🌊 Learn more about Plastic Free July and find resources to help you get started: https://lnkd.in/f6rJSUr #PlasticFreeJuly #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #PlasticWasteSolutions #EnvironmentalImpact #AION #ReduceReuseRecycle #GreenFuture

Today marks (almost exactly) five years since the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and UN Environment Programme launched the Global Commitment – the largest global voluntary effort to tackle plastic waste and pollution. In that time, signatories have proven that progress is possible. But the world remains off track. With greenhouse gas emissions from plastic production expected to more than double by 2060, it is clear that we need to do more – *more* accelerated voluntary business action *and* (not either) *more* ambitious, binding policy measures. Today, we have published a reflection paper – The Global Commitment Five Years In – to help inform business leaders, policymakers, and negotiators of the international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution of the actions now so urgently needed to drive progress further, faster, together.

It's Oceans of Plastic Awareness Day! 🌊 At RES, we're not just committed to clean energy – we're also passionate about protecting our planet. Did you know that a significant portion of plastic pollution originates from single-use plastics? This #OceansOfPlasticAwarenessDay, let's take a moment to reflect on our plastic consumption and its impact on marine life. Small changes can make a big difference! ♻️ Swap single-use plastics for reusable alternatives, reduce waste, and spread awareness about the importance of a cleaner, healthier ocean. 💚 #PlasticFreeOceans #OceansOfPlastic #RenewableEnergy
