“Garbage is a great resource in the wrong place where someone’s imagination is missing to be recycled for everyone’s benefit.”

Imagine a polluted beach. What is the first material to which you point your finger? The plastic.

“We think of the plastic waste abandoned on the beaches and in the oceans, it’s terrible; but can we blame the material (plastic) for this? Research shows that over 80% of waste is intentional and caused by individuals. “

“Don’t fight blindly against plastic just because plastic is the most visible waste. Realize that plastic is a functional and valuable resource that we must maintain in the material cycle. “

“We consumers can drive the market towards sustainability”

“The negative reputation of plastic is due only to a popular belief”
