Cutlery and plates, straws, cotton swabs, beverage mixers and balloon rods: these are some of the disposable plastic products considered the most polluting for the planet that as of 2019 will be strictly regulated by new European Commission’s directives (which will prohibit or restrict its use where fully eco-sustainable alternatives are available).
Suffice it to think that these products collectively account for as much as 70% of sea pollution, everyday objects that all of us have used and thrown away after a single use, not fully aware of the damage caused to the entire ecosystem over the years.
Each of us can contribute to reducing the amount of plastic we use over the course of the day. At Organic Way, we have abolished plastic from containers since 2013 by using only 100% recyclable, infinitely reusable glass and aluminium packaging for all OW products.
