🚨Consumer organizations worldwide are calling for global change to tackle plastic pollution.
Plastic can be a highly useful material in our everyday life, but our consumption and production of plastics in the past years are now unsustainable. This leads to a plastic pollution crisis which affects our health and ecosystems.
We as consumers have the power to change this by just being responsible and making good decisions on the products that we buy.
