The environmental impact of abandoned plastic packaging waste

08/11/2021

Every 100 linear meters of beach there are on average 783 waste and 84% of them are made of plastic: these numbers are the result of the investigation called “Beach litter” conducted by Legambiente.


Waste enrolled by Legambiente are of all form and type, mostly disposable, especially connected to packaging, food consume, and to smoke waste: from bottles to containers and plastic caps, from stubs to rubble and shards of glass, coming to cotton balls, gloves and masks. Plastic is still the material that’s mostly found through waste left on the beaches. In around one third of the sampled beaches, the percentage of plastic is 90% or more of the monitored waste, while in 72% of the monitored shores were found disposable gloves, masks or some other objects connected with Covid-19. In particular masks were found in 68% of the shores and gloves in the 26% of them.


This data are really impressive if we think that they could be extremely lower if at the base there was a proper separate collection in order to protect the environment. What we can do in our little is to choose renewable, recyclable and low impact materials. We should respect the three R rule: reducing, reusing and recycling and to these could be added another R in Italian: raccogliere or collect the abandoned waste.


We, Dell’oca, offer a packaging made by leafed poplar, renewable and recyclable: consequently those companies that choose our products give a green answer to those consumers who care about the environmental impact of their purchases. The change starts from the bottom, every little revolution for the environment respect is a big step forward.
