Why Plastic is Such a Big Problem: "Every Piece of Plastic Ever Made by Humans Never Disappears"

Why is plastic such a big problem?
Because "every piece of plastic ever made by humans never disappears," and when we're done using it, it has to "go" somewhere. These plastics will inevitably circle back to impact humans in some way.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a garbage island three times larger than France. This massive accumulation of plastic waste from humans has flowed together into an enormous mass floating in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Some of the plastic is over 50 years old. According to Ocean Conservancy reports, only about 5% of plastic floats on the ocean surface, while the other 95% lies beneath the water. Sadly, this has become a new ecosystem for many marine species that now live on this floating garbage patch.

Many people might view this impact as something distant from their lives, but imagine this: marine animals eat these "microplastics" as food, and we eat marine animals as food. This is how plastic enters our bodies. This massive garbage patch reflects how human actions affect the world's wildlife and can harm humans both directly and indirectly.

We can help reduce these impacts and manage waste materials to decrease the number of plastic pieces entering our oceans. Both consumers and industries, you and your business, can help by improving certain processes, reducing plastic use, and recycling properly.

A cleaning solution choice that helps reduce pollution emissions and plastic use is the SAO solution, a product that can generate Stabilized Aqueous Ozone (SAO) at the point of installation, helping to significantly reduce plastic packaging and transportation. Contact us at Prozon to help reduce environmental problems and stop the impact of plastic.
