Humans currently produce more than 350 million metric tons of plastic waste annually. 91% of plastic waste is disposed of by way of burial, landfill, or incineration and only 9% is recycled.
Plastic waste has been causing climate change as well as heavy environmental pollution, urgent problems that need to be solved.
As a resident of our world, we should do something to help stop plastic pollution. KEGO will put a list of eco-friendly products to show you how easy it is to help reduce plastic.
1. Reusable Shopping Bags
Plastic shopping bags from grocery stores (or any retail store) produce a lot of waste.
Bring reusable shopping bags to carry your goods and other items to eliminate your plastic waste consumption from shopping bags when you shop.
2. Stainless Steel Drink Bottles
Use your own drink bottle. This makes it a safe, sustainable way to consume your favorite beverages. You can also help to reduce single-use plastic bottles.
3. Recycled and Recyclable Cutlery
Single–use plastic cutlery is always used once and thrown away. A lot of plastic cutlery waste can be produced after parties, BBQs, or school lunches.
Instead of using single-use plastic cutlery, you can use reusable utensils made from recycled sources or use disposable wooden cutlery.
4. Compostable Bowls
The same as single-use plastic cutlery, plastic bowls can be thrown a lot after events. You can use a compostable or disposable bowl in your events instead of plastic bowls to protect the environment.
5. Compostable Straws
Plastic straws take hundreds of years to decompose. Use your recyclable straws or biodegradable straws instead of plastic straws to reduce the amount of plastic and the decomposition time.
6. Recycled Plastic Toothbrush
Use recycled plastic toothbrushes to reduce about 10 tones of plastic yearly.
