Plastic is now a worldwide environmental issue. It is predicted that at current usage rates, by 2050, plastic in the ocean will outweigh marine life. Moreover, recycling isn’t the only solution to all of our environmental issues, as only 9% of our plastic packaging is recycled.
Now in 2021, plastic is unavoidable and used everyday. We see plastic bags floating through the wind and micro plastics embedded in the sand. 50% of the plastic produced is for single-use purposes. Learn how we can use technology to tackle the ever growing problem of overusing plastic. Register for the FREE event here.
