The environmental impact generated by the life cycle of plastic bottles can be reduced by recycling, but what if we eliminate the problem with small changes in our consumption habits? Sandra Molas, sales manager at 11Onze, suggests alternatives to make a plastic-free planet possible.<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Scientists have discovered that even in the recently fallen snow in Antarctica, microplastics can be detected. As Molas states, “<\/span>it literally rains plastic on us<\/b>“. The problem of plastic pollution is directly proportional to the production and consumption of plastic products, “if we really care, we have to act and stop buying plastic,” Molas says.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this sense, the global production of plastics has increased by 500% since the beginning of the 1980s, and <\/span>every year some 300 million tonnes of plastic are produced worldwide, of which 8 million tonnes end up in the oceans<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Society has become aware of the problem, but as the sales manager explains, “<\/span>our responsibility as individuals does not exempt administrations and companies from being the first to set an example<\/b>“, and sufficiently strict legislation and regulations are needed to face the environmental challenges that arise.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
