5 brands who are helping the world reduce their use of single use plastics
14 billion pounds of plastic end up into the ocean every year around the world which then breaks down into microplastics. Microplastics are particularly dangerous to marine life as they end up in our waterways and oceans, however they are also showing up in our foods and drinking water as a result of the excessive amounts. Although plastic is built to last forever the sad reality is that consumers tend to use plastic only once before throwing it out.
