First world nations to third world countries,  we are facing the same environmental epidemy – plastic pollution. As convenient, durable, light and versatile, this 111-year-old invention takes up to 400 years to decompose and have impose to affect the lives of people and living creatures for the next 16 generations to come. The excessive and irresponsible consumption of plastics is impacting ocean health and biodiversity. Some research has reported that by 2050, there could be more plastics in the ocean than fish if our current consumption habits are unchanged*.

Plastic Pollution In Oceans I The Beach Company Awareness

8,000,000 tons of plastics are dumped in the ocean each year. China, Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam are reported as countries dumping the most plastic waste than any other region in the world from its shared river systems and waterways as the conduits of this problem**

The Beach Company takes on this opportunity of raising awareness about the polluting impacts of plastic packaging by taking a pledge to the refusal, reuse, reduce and recycle of single-use plastic products 

REFUSE
REUSE
REDUCE
RECYCLE
Choose items that are not packaged in plastic, and carry your own bags, containers and utensils. Say ‘no straw', please. Reduce your plastic footprint. If anything leaves behind plastic trash - don't buy it! Recycle what you can’t refuse, reduce or reuse. Pay attention to the entire life cycle of items you bring into your life, from source to manufacturing to distribution to disposal.
