In 2016, 460 billion plastic bottles were sold throughout the world. To break that down, that’s 1 million per minute. With less than 50% of those
bottles being recycled, single use plastics, that take years to biodegrade, are having a devastating effect on our oceans and marine life with over
10 million tonnes winding up in our oceans every year. The plastic bottle you might buy today will still be here when your grandchildren’s grandchildren
are grown up. We need to act now to combat the effect that single use plastics are having on the World.
Our mission is plain and simple; help reduce the volume of usage of single use plastics.
