The plastic waste which degrades very slowly and liberates substances which are highly toxic, are causing alterations with fatal consequences to our natural ecosystems.

Why so much Plastic?

Today, it is impressive how many bottles of plastic are on the planet and we continue to produce more daily, without pause.

Worldwide over 1.2 million plastic bottles are produced every minute. This means a container of the size of the empire states every third day!

Thanks to a group of activists, who made it known in a report, we know that companies like Coca-Cola, Nestle, Pepsi Co, Unilever and others are responsible for the annual production of 57 million tons of plastic bottles.

But, we are all guilty.

It is important to understand that the main problem lies in the trash we generate when buying water and other drinks in plastic bottles. Most drinks are bottled in plastic which we only use once and then throw away.

Bottled water is not as safe as they try to make us think and it can cause serious health problems due to various reasons, like being exposed to the sun, being kept for a long time on the shelves and the type of plastic (PET) being used which can significantly contaminate the water with chemicals like bisphenol A and microplastics.
