Скачать или смотреть Plastic Straps Are Killing Wildlife — And It’s Preventable

It’s the middle of rescue high season in Namibia, and entanglements like this, caused by common box straps, our a daily routine. Between May and September, we rescue 10–20 seals every morning, often trapped in the same type of industrial waste.
The tragedy? These plastic straps are entirely avoidable. There are better options: paper-based and biodegradable textile alternatives that are compostable, recyclable, and break down naturally in marine environments. They’re designed to fray and break, not cinch around wildlife. But the packaging industry won’t change unless they’re forced to do so, through public pressure, taxation, laws, and persistent campaigning.
