Plastic Pollution<\/h3>Plastic Pollution<\/h3>Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues, as rapidly increasing production of disposable plastic products overwhelms the world\u2019s ability to deal with them. The presence of plastic in our ocean<\/strong> is continually increasing, and plastic pollution<\/strong> is still one of the main causes of marine species extinction<\/strong>, health problems<\/strong> for human beings and animals alike, and the destruction of our ecosystems. Plastic waste makes up 80% of all marine pollution<\/strong> and around 8 to 10 million metric tons of plastic end up in the ocean each year! 50% of all plastic produce is for single-use purposes, used for just minutes and then thrown away, and it remains on our planet for hundreds of years<\/strong>.<\/p> This is bad.<\/span><\/strong> It is a ticking time bomb for the environment. The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) predicts that the amount of plastic in the ocean will nearly triple by 2040, adding 23 million to 37 million tonnes more waste every year. By the year 2050, there will be more plastic in the oceans than fish! <\/span><\/p> Let's join forces and end our dependence on plastic.<\/span><\/strong> <\/span><\/p> When you buy from us on a <\/span>1 Tee 1 KG weekend<\/span><\/strong>, your order will fund the recovery and recycling of 1kg of ocean-bound plastic from coastal communities around the planet, through a program run by our friends at Plastic Bank. They have already removed over 60 million kilograms of ocean-bound plastic and we're teaming up with them to bring you this event.<\/span><\/p> For each order, we will sponsor them to <\/span>recover a kilo of plastic<\/span><\/strong>, about the equivalent of <\/span>50 plastic bottles.<\/span><\/strong> You probably already know that our products are made from natural materials. But design choices that stop plastic aren't enough, we want to restore and regenerate the environment and that means turning back the tide of waste from the <\/span>60% of clothing that's made from plastic<\/span><\/strong>, leaving <\/span>microplastics<\/span><\/strong> behind every time they're washed. Because these end up being eaten by sea creatures, it's <\/span>bad news for eco-systems<\/span><\/strong> everywhere. That's why we only use materials that biodegrade. Our oceans are home to an amazing selection of creatures, big and small. To help protect them, we make our products using plants, not plastic.<\/span><\/p> Your purchase will pay collectors in Haiti, the Philippines, Indonesia and Brazil to recover plastic from the coast that would have ended up in our oceans, wreaking havoc for marine life. It will also fund the collection of plastic from streets, households and informal dump sites to make sure it never ends up in our oceans to begin with. <\/span>Join us in our efforts to clean up the coast<\/span><\/strong> and hit checkout now. The <\/span>plastic is recycled and reintegrated<\/span><\/strong> into new products as part of a closed-loop supply chain. Let\u2019s turn off the tap on ocean plastic!<\/span><\/p>![\"7pht0wg4a0apz7mzey7gacop8bpmlsnb1kjtbmhwdww4m8nv.jpg\"](\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/7pht0wg4a0apz7mzey7gacop8bpmlsnb1kjtbmhwdww4m8nv.jpg\")
