Here's a sad reality: despite our recycling efforts, only 9% of global plastic waste actually gets recycled. That means a staggering 91% ends up in landfills, our oceans, or littering our environment. This plastic pollution not only harms wildlife but also breaks down into microplastics, entering our food chain thereby raising health concerns. But there's hope! At Eko Champs, we're on a mission to change this narrative. We're teaming up with businesses to create waves of change through impactful campaigns and events. We can all together boost right sorting, efficient collection, and responsible recycling. ♻️ Meanwhile, What can YOU do? 🤔 ➡ Reduce plastic consumption ➡ Choose reusable over single-use ➡ Support businesses with eco-friendly practices ➡ Spread awareness and educate others Let's turn the tide on plastic pollution, together. P.S. Share your thoughts! What can we do as individuals and businesses to tackle plastic waste? #plasticpollution #plasticwaste #sustainabiity #savetheplanet

The world is drowning in plastic waste, and recycling is the key to saving our planet! Each year, millions of tons of plastic waste are generated, wreaking havoc on our ecosystems. This plastic ends up in our oceans, landfills, and natural habitats, causing severe harm to wildlife and contributing to climate change. But, the landscape can be transformed… Effective plastic waste management not only reduces pollution but also conserves vital resources. For instance, by recycling just one ton of plastic, we can save enough water to sustain 120 households annually. #Magpet strives to shape a plastic-neutral society by promoting adequate management of plastic bottle waste. In this journey, we need you to join hands in the #EcoRevive movement to facilitate the collection, processing, and recycling of plastic bottles to reduce their impact on the environment. Come, let’s build a healthier and more sustainable planet for future generations.

This is sadly becoming our reality... a future where there is more plastic in rivers and oceans than aquatic life. A future where every waterway is overflowing with plastic, killing marine life and poisoning humans - if we don't take action now, this will be the world we leave behind. If we don’t change our dependency on plastic, the world could reach a tipping point in just 10 years, unable to cope with the scale of plastic waste according to experts (The Guardian).💡 What can you do? - Refuse single-use plastics and switch to reusable alternatives. - Rethink plastic by adopting sustainable practices in your daily life. - Support initiatives like Goumbook’s #DropIt Campaign to drive change and reduce plastic pollution. Together, we can rethink, refuse, and reduce plastic dependency to secure a cleaner, healthier future for all. Get in touch with us at ask@goumbook.com to learn more. #Goumbook #Chnagingmindsets #PlasticPollution #ActNow #Sustainability #BreakFreeFromPlastic #RethinkPlastic

The fate of our future hangs precariously in the balance, with plastic pollution emerging as one of the gravest threats to environmental sustainability. Improper disposal of plastic bottles is a major contributor to this crisis, with staggering statistics indicating that only a mere fraction of plastic waste - approximately 9% globally - gets recycled. By 2050, there could be more plastic waste on Earth than living beings if we don't act now. Creating a plastic-neutral future starts with simple, conscious choices. Next time you buy a packaged drink, don't just toss the plastic bottle away! Take a moment to dispose of it properly in our strategically placed SmartBins, helping us recycle and reduce plastic waste. Join us in our mission to build a healthier, cleaner future. Be part of the change we need. #magpet #magpetpolymers #sustainability #recycledplastic #packaging #plasticwastemanagement #plasticsrecycling #reducereuserecycle #petbottlerecycling #sustainableproduct #petcontainer #sustainablefuture #recycling #greener #sustainableliving #reducewaste #communitycare #itc #bisleri #emami #adaniwilmar #dabur #deysmedical #tatawater #nourishco #cocacola #IFBagro #USL #plasticpollution
