Zero Plastic Initiative

 This plastics catastrophe affects every single nation. And each and every one of them must contribute to the answer. We require a concerted international effort, in which the governments of the world are held responsible for putting a stop to plastic pollution. We can demonstrate the power of coordinated action to repair nature by uniting to combat plastic pollution. Here are some practical suggestions for reducing plastic waste: 1- Keep Plastics In Use For Longer Eliminating plastic minimizes resource usage and transportation emissions. Glass is recycled more frequently and has a higher percentage of recycled material. Reuse plastic bottles, cartons, and planters if eliminating plastic is not an option. This may cut garbage production worldwide. 2-Bring Your Own Battle One of the most common types of plastic pollution is bottles, which are routinely discovered during beach clean-ups around the world. The lids frequently end up in the stomachs of seabirds. 3-Bring Your Own Shoppin...

 Ecosystems, whether soil, water or air, suffer a lot of damage and losses due to the environmental impact of plastic waste. This type of waste takes thousands of years to decompose, causing catastrophic damage to the environment, atmosphere and human, animal and plant health. Let's give an explanation. A simple overview of the dangers and damages of plastic waste to the environment and living organisms.     1-Plastic damage in soil    It is known that plastic waste does not decompose immediately, because it accumulates in the soil, therefore it loses its fertility in the long run. In addition to  plastic containers and other garbage that affect the natural growth of grass and plants, they block sunlight from the soil. Which damages it and reduces the presence of living insects in it and thus causes an error in the biological composition of the soil, making it unsuitable.     2-Plastic damage to the surrounding environment ...

 From small companies to large ones , we've compiled a top four list of companies that are truly challenging themselves and making the biggest impact in reducing plastic.      Starbucks Coffee Company  Starbucks removed single use plastic straws from more than 28,000 company operated and authorized stores, offering straw-free lids or alternative  straws worldwide. Starbucks, the largest food and beverage retailer to make such a global commitment, hopes the move will remove more than a billion plastic straws a year from Starbucks stores.  Starbucks' goal to eliminate plastic straws from its stores worldwide by 2020 represents the future of the company by solving the entire problem of material waste," says Erin Simon, director of materials science at WWF USA.  McDonald's  With more than 36,000 restaurants in 122 locations, it's clear that McDonald's is committed to doing something "around the world," that's what it means.  The fast fo...

 The answer is products made from ecological products. There are environmentally friendly alternatives to everyday things, Their availability allows us to use products made from sustainable materials so that our choices contribute to the success of the environment.   Recycled tire  Since 2010, the auto industry has grown by 15 percent, which has led to the mass production of auto components such as tires. For our convenience, most rubber products are designed and manufactured to have as little impact on the surrounding ecosystem as possible. When tires reach the end of their useful life, they are diverted to more environmentally friendly products instead of being thrown in the trash. Recycled or recycled tire products such as wallets, rubber tables, laptop bags, handmade sofas, shoes and more can be found both online and in stores.      Glass According to several studies, making glass from recycled glass reduces water pollution by 50 percent and a...

 Global environmental statistics indicate that the world produces about 400 million tons of plastic waste every year, one million plastic bottles are purchased every minute around the world, and about 5 trillion plastic bags are used around the world every year.  Approximately 36% of all plastics produced are used in packaging, including single-use plastics for food and beverage containers.  Nearly 85% of it ends up in landfills or as unregulated waste that pollutes soil, rivers, and even seas and oceans, and about 11 million tons of plastic waste annually flows into the oceans.  There are now 5.25 trillion pieces of large and microplastic found in our ocean and 46,000 pieces per square mile of ocean, weighing up to 269,000 tons.  This could triple by 2040 if historical growth trends continue.  What's worse is that most plastics don't disappear completely and break down into smaller and smaller pieces.  These microplastics can enter the human body thro...

The Zero Plastic Waste Initiative aims to drive change throughout the plastic life cycle to increase waste collection, improve value recovery and prevent and eliminate plastic pollution. It supports projects that use innovative approaches that lead to a measurable positive impact on reducing plastic waste and pollution,but first before we get into the soultions we need to talk about the plastic pollution and the effects. On June 5 of every year, countries around the world celebrate World Environment Day. This year’s celebration, which falls on Monday, focuses on raising people’s awareness of the importance of preserving the environment and encouraging them to take measures to reduce pollution, especially plastic pollution, which the world has become addicted to using and is now reaping its consequences.  severe environmental,and health impacts.
