Learn how plastics can be kept in the economy and out of the environment, helping preserve our planet's resources. We need to work together to address this challenge. #EnvironmentalStewardship #PlasticPollution #CircularEconomy https://lnkd.in/eMNz7XR2 

Looking forward to this session today and learning more about what is, and what more can, be done to address plastics pollution - Happy Earth Day!

Plastic remains the most significant, damaging, and enduring portion of marine debris, constituting a minimum of 85% of the total waste in oceans. This World Environment Day on June 5th, let's recognize and support organizations dedicated to eliminating plastics from our oceans #worldenvironmentday2024  #worldenvironmentday #environmentday

It is estimated that 1,000 rivers  are accountable for nearly 80% of global annual riverine plastic emissions into the ocean, which ranges between 0.8 and 2.7 million tonnes per year, with small urban rivers amongst the most polluting

Tomorrow, the European Parliament votes on a proposal that could prevent plastic pellets from polluting our environment – a key step towards the EU’s commitment to reduce microplastic pollution by 30% by 2030. Here’s why it’s important: #BeatPelletPollution #EarthDay

Plastic pollution is a pervasive global challenge, with a considerable amount of it transitioning into marine plastic pollution. Recognizing the gravity of this emergency, nations are working toward a legally binding agreement—the Global Plastics Treaty—scheduled for finalization in November 2024.

It's World Water Day 🌊 Did you know that according to the Ellen Macarthur Foundation, annual estimates of synthetic microfiber pollution entering the oceans is equivalent in weight to more than 50 billion plastic bottles? This is just one reason why it's so important that we work together to minimize the amount of microplastic pollution entering and persisting in our oceans and water sources. #WorldWaterDay #OceanPollution
