Each day, tons of plastic waste gets thrown away and ends up in the seas and oceans that are central to our ecosystem. We are here to bring about a change.
Shocking figures
220 Million
tonnes of plastic is produced in the world each year. A quantity of that kind is difficult for the planet to cope with.
6,5 Million
of waste is thrown into the oceans
1,5 Million
birds and marine mammals die as a result of ingesting plastic. We need to act!
It's time to change.
