What does it mean to be Plastic Positive?
Plastic has become such an ingrained part of modern life that it’s easy to forget its damaging effect on the environment and human health. However, the time has come to take a more environmentally-friendly approach to plastic consumption so we can leave behind a cleaner, greener world for future generations!
At The Sweet Skin Co we are committed to adopting eco-friendly practices and making strides towards leaving behind less plastic waste.
The top 5 causes of ocean plastics
Did you know?
1 -
In the United Kingdom, 2.5 million metric tons of plastic are produced annually;
2 -
7% of that becomes litter and less than 10% of the litter is actually recovered by recycling companies;
3 -
Over half of all waste generated in the U.K., including plastics, is disposed of in landfills where they release methane gas, which has more global warming potential than CO2;
4 -
The Ocean Conservancy reports that as many as 51 trillion microplastic particles now pollute our oceans globally;
5 -
The U.K. use about 564 million plastic bags every year—99% of them end up in landfills, on streets or in waterways.
Individual consumption habits can make a huge difference
One of the most effective ways we can make an impact on the environment is by changing our individual consumption habits. You might think that your actions don’t matter, but they do! In fact, the average person will produce their own weight in trash every year. The less we buy and consume, the less waste will end up in landfills and oceans, which means we can leave a better world for future generations.
How can we be more plastic conscious?
The good news is that there are always seemingly small steps we can take in moving towards a plastic-free lifestyle.
Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the impact that their choices have on the environment, and you can make sustainable choices in order to lessen the environmental impact of your lifestyle.
