"Kaisa the whale was happy. She was living a comfortable whale life in the Mediterranean. Kaisa had also recently found a happy partner. And so a new generation of sperm whales had begun. But suddenly, Kaisa began to feel sick. So badly that she passed away. Kaisa washed up breathless on a beach in Porto Cervo, Sardinia. 22 kilos of plastic waste were found in the whale's stomach. Mostly disposable take-away packging. And a foetus in a state of decomposition." Unfortunately this is a true story. There will be more of these fates if we are not determined to reduce packaging waste and increase reuse. Trilogy that decides on Packaging and Packaging Waste Regualation in EU has a big responsibility to set strict targets for packaging waste reduction. 💚 This story is also now shortlisted in corporate responsibility category for a best radio spot by RadioMedia ry in Kaiku Gala 13th of march 2024. Great script and production by Anssi Järvinen and Ville Toriseva (LION) collective! Less waste, more life - Kamupak #reuse #reusablepackaging #circulareconomy #ppwr

🌾 #Staramaki: Pioneering Sustainable Solutions in Rural Greece 🌾 Staramaki is a remarkable start-up company based in Kilkis, Northern Greece. The name "Staramaki" is a creative fusion of the Greek words for wheat (in greek "στάρι") and “straw" (in greek "καλαμάκι") reflecting their core mission. Staramaki produces eco-friendly, single-use straws made from the by-product of local wheat cultivation—specifically, the stalk left after the edible grain is harvested. This innovative initiative not only provides a sustainable alternative to plastic straws, but also plays a crucial role in supporting vulnerable groups, enhancing social cohesion, and promoting local and regional development. 🌱 By utilizing agricultural waste to produce biomaterials, Staramaki champions the principles of the circular economy. Their efforts help to significantly reduce the environmental impact of microplastics, offering a low-footprint solution that benefits both people and the planet.

At El Catuaí, our farms represent over 100 years of coffee-growing tradition. Like many family-run farms, we rely on ancestral techniques passed down through generations, working in harmony with the land to improve both quality and yields. This article offers great insights into how succession and indigenous knowledge play a pivotal role in shaping the future of coffee production.

🌏 Earth Day, celebrated annually on April 22 for over five decades, underscores the importance of environmental protection and planetary health. 🔦 So today, we spotlight selected Bemakers brand partners who have taken proactive steps to minimize their climate impact. ⚗ Arbikie Highland Estate transformed their distillery into a laboratory, driven by a commitment to our air, water and soil. Through extensive research, they discovered a groundbreaking solution: the pea. Unlike traditional ingredients like wheat or barley, peas capture all the nitrogen from the air and enrich the soil through their roots, making them a climate-positive choice. 🌱 Arbikie's Nàdar duo, meaning 'nature' in Gaelic, embodies the harmony of nature and science, crafting the world's first climate-positive spirits. Designed with the natural world in mind, Nàdar symbolizes the transformative power of sustainable innovation. 👉🏾 https://lnkd.in/ei5GR8dy & https://lnkd.in/d8S5fyrg 🍺 Gallia has undertaken extensive testing to create a program that benefits both the brewery, the consumers and the planet. Recognizing that packaging contributes significantly to their carbon footprint, they shifted their focus to reuse ♻ By opting for reusable glass bottles instead of single-use ones, Gallia saves water, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and conserves electricity. Their commitment actively encourage consumers to return bottles for reuse, championing sustainability on a broader scale. 👉🏾 https://lnkd.in/dN5NJ6V3 Feragaia aims to reconnect consumers with the Wild Earth through its radically authentic alcohol-free spirit. Their social and environmental policies are substantial and crafted to ensure long-term sustainability. With clearly defined KPIs, Feragaia monitors and manages their progress towards environmental and social goals. 🌾 Through investments in seaweed cultivation, adoption of low-impact, completely chemical-free production methods, and prioritization of eco-friendly logistics, Feragaia is dedicated to making a positive impact on the planet. 👉🏾 https://lnkd.in/dyRgHbpa #earthday #bemakers #brandpartners
