#QuitSachets this #July. Want to know why? The truth about sachet waste is that (if ever collected), they are merely burned in #incinerators or in waste-to-energy plants. (Companies and brands like to call this 'recycling'!) Burning plastic, even when done in state of the art facilities, is extremely risky to human health. #PlasticFreeJuly
This #PlasticFreeJuly join us on a journey to go #plasticfree. While we also need individual action, what is essential now are #corporate-level changes that will stop production at source. Follow us this month to find out more.
Some brands though are doing a better job of providing clear, easy to find information. #PlasticFreeJuly #PlasticPollution #zerowaste
Not all brands provide complete recycling information as required by law on their products. #PlasticFreeJuly #PlasticPollution #zerowaste
Products are required to have a recycling label on them. This helps consumers choose the most sustainable option as all plastics are not easily recyclable. #PlasticFreeJuly #PlasticPollution #zerowaste
Calling on companies to stop the false promises & false solutions NOW! Invest in sustainable alternatives which are reuseable, refillable, low in energy use, & non-toxic. #PlasticFreeJuly #PlasticPollution #EPR
Looks can be deceiving! Woven bags or so-called aluminium foils are actually plastic! Time to give up these polluting plastics! #PlasticFreeJuly #PlasticPollution #zerowaste
We document the challenges that come with summer and monsoon seasons when one lives next to a dumpyard. We hold our noses when a garbage truck passes us on the road. Imagine living next to a dumpyard. Our decisions to segregate and compost will reduce the reduce the waste we send to someone's backyard.
Segregating your waste is as simple as keeping an old plastic container aside for your kitchen scraps & rinsing & drying your plastics. Nothing more to it!
Waste workers are key in the fight to get on top of the plastic problem. The least we can do is to ensure their safety!
