There is a general plastic pollution problem in the marine environment which poses great risks to the ones having it as their natural habitat. Yet, many are the companies that launch green, eco-friendly projects that aim to a better future and protection of the environment.
For instance, three companies partnered with the goal of collecting non-recyclable waste from the sea and change it to fuel for vessels. In the meantime, IMarEST published an informative infographic, summarizing the key environmental trends for shipping, that are dangerous for the marine life.
Moreover, in light of plastic debris many countries decided to ban single-use plastics, as Justin Trudeau, announced that the Canadian Government is taking additional steps to reduce Canada’s plastic waste, support innovation, and promote the use of affordable and safe alternatives.
Concluding, a WWF report revealed that the maritime industry loses €235 million a year from plastic pollution. The report focuses in the Mediterranean region, which is the world’s fourth largest producer of plastic goods, and its residents and visitors generate 24 million tonnes of plastic waste each year.
