Plastic Neutrality is a concept that aims to balance a person or company’s plastic footprint, which is the exact amount of plastic they use. It means that for every amount of plastic created by a business, an evaluated amount of plastic waste is recovered and eradicated from the ocean and environment by a company or a team of volunteers through waste management efforts. Plastic neutrality is an efficient way to prevent plastic from getting into the oceans and littering the environment. Every year, millions of people, their families, friends, or businesses use a specific amount of plastic in their day-to-day lives. It is known as their plastic footprints. No matter how hard they try to avoid or decrease their plastic footprint by avoiding the use of excessive plastic, they cannot make it to zero. Supporting a plastic recycling project that collects and recycle plastic equivalent to the plastic used by you will help you become certified plastic neutral. Here is everything you should know...

The weight of plastics in the sea will outweigh the number of fishes in the sea in near future. Plastic is present everywhere, be it landfills, your kitchen cabinet, public places, the ocean, or even on Mars! We have created this reality for ourselves and our future generation. The world is screaming for solutions for plastic pollution as there is no planet B. But let's talk about the problem first. Why has plastic contributed so much to the world's overall waste build-up and how has it become the most harmful by-product of the increased consumption pattern of humans. The problem starts with its demand and habit. Its constant manufacturing will continue to cause harm to the environment. A plastic that is manufactured today will be around for thousands of years. The manufacturing process of plastic releases toxic chemicals that pollute the environment. Every product sold in the market has plastic packaging and consumers mindlessly use plastic products in their daily life. Single...

We all want to reduce the usage of plastic in our life. However, using plastic seems inescapable because it’s everywhere. Further, the usage of plastic has indeed made our life easier. But we also know that using plastic has its dangers. We need to collectively reduce the usage of plastic in our life. Before we do it collectively, we need to start taking steps on the individual level. Here are 3 benefits of reducing plastic in your life: They are Dangerous for Animals Plastic, especially single-use plastic, end up in the dustbin as soon as we are done using it. We open a new packet of chocolate, and its wrapper goes to the dustbin. We finish a bottle of water, and the bottle goes straight to the dustbin. However, this plastic ends up not in the dustbin, but in the stomachs of stray animals. They consume while scavenging for food and die over time as plastic causes sickness and disorders. It is our responsibility to look after the other beings on this planet.  It’s Better for the En...

  Plastic waste has become one of the biggest threats to the environment and is harming the ecosystem in a big way. Perhaps, there is no place on Earth that is not impacted by this global plastic problem. The global plastic problem has gone out of hand in such a big way that now if you dig up a spade full of soil, you will definitely find plastic debris in it. Not just land, even the water bodies are impacted by this plastic pollution and right from oceans to rivers, plastic is everywhere, messing up with the marine flora and fauna.  The situation currently is a little different from what it was a few years ago as nowadays people are at least aware of the plastic problem. Earlier, there was not much know-how about what to do with the plastic waste due to which a majority of the waste used to end up in the wrong places, polluting the Earth. In the absence of proper regulations as well as awareness, people were using plastic indiscriminately and, in the bargain, adding to the gl...

The production and usage of plastic have been increasing at a rapid rate since it was first invented. It has reached a point where it has become harmful for us and the planet. It’s causing pollution everywhere because we discard it after a single use and the plastic is non-biodegradable. It should be now everyone’s moral duty to become plastic negative, which means to reduce plastic from your life and opt for non-plastic options. Here are 3 ways to reduce plastic from your life: 1. Avoid Single-Use Plastic Most of the plastic that we use in our daily lives, we only use once before discarding them. This includes polythene bags, plastic wraps, bubble wraps, plastic cups & plates, and straws. It’s recommended that you should reduce their usage as much as possible. For instance, when you go to a grocery store, carry your own bag, be it a cloth bag or a paper bag. Or if you can’t spare a bag like this, buy bags that are repurposed and have the plastic neutral certification. 2. Stop Purc...
