THE THREAT OF MICROPLASTICS
Microplastics are a huge problem and are present in many everyday products; they vary in size, but these are typically plastic particles smaller than 5 millimeters in size, which can then easily pass through wastewater filters, making their recovery and management impossible. Plastic Free is not a choice but a necessity
It is not only about the health of the environment but also about OUR.
WHAT EUROPE DOES
PARLIAMENT and THE EUROPEAN COUNCIL issue a DIRECTIVE (EU) 2019/904 on 5 June 2019 on reducing the impact of certain plastic products on the environment.

It should be pointed out that this is not a law other than for some already identified product whose businesses are already available. But how much are they worth in terms of CO2 emissions and environmental health? LITTLE, TOO LITTLE. Plastic Free is not a choice but a necessity

It is clear that the whole supply chain must be activated independently of directives or rules and that we do not need laws but COMMON SENSE, which is unfortunately being lost. The real change is YOU and all the companies that have chosen to take this path to adopt it then daily changing our habits and companies will increasingly reduce their use.
