Did you know that over 1 million metric tons of plastic flood our oceans annually? This staggering statistic is a stark reminder of the urgent need to protect our planet.
First, What is Ocean Bound Plastic?
Ocean bound plastic refers to post-consumer plastic waste at risk of entering the ocean. Unlike ocean plastic, which is already in the ocean and often degraded and contaminated, ocean bound plastic is collected from areas within 30 miles of the coast where waste management systems are lacking.
By repurposing this plastic, we actively prevent it from polluting our oceans, thereby contributing to the preservation of marine biodiversity. This initiative serves a dual purpose: it reduces the demand for new plastic production, cutting down on the carbon footprint associated with its manufacturing, and supports local communities by providing economic opportunities through the collection of plastic waste.
The Problem with Plastic Pollution
Each year, over 1 million metric tons of plastic flood our oceans, devastating marine life and ecosystems. The beauty industry alone contributes a staggering 7.9 billion units of plastic packaging, exacerbating this environmental catastrophe and if we continue at the current rate of pollution, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish by 2050.
