Скачать или смотреть Less Plastics better than No Plastics?

www.plesstics.com Hi there, I’ll start this episode with a statement that may sound defensive, but is not intended to be so.
In today’s society we simply can’t do without plastics.
Now don’t turn off this video, but let me explain why I am making this statement.

Plesstics was created to inform you all about our world of packaging plastics,
being both the producers as well as the users industry.
And in particular what we, as a total supply chain,
can do to lower the amount of plastics and its pollution.
Simply because we care too!

Plastic is all around us, because the material has so many possibilities that makes it perfect for all sorts of products.
For instance in packaging, building and construction, pharmaceutical, textiles, transportation and many, many others.
At the same time we also think that one-time use plastics are likely to end op in nature (for example on beaches, in forests or open water . Cutlery, plates, spoons and straws are perfect examples of products for which paper or wood might be less harmful alternatives.
Focusing on packaging plastics I’d like to sum up reasons why plastic is being used in the food industry, which may not be obvious to everyone who is watching this video.
For example if we didn’t use plastics, this meat (photo) could not be kept fresh for longer than 3 days. But wrapped in this vacuum plastic bag the shelf life is extended to up to 30 days.
That extended shelf life is the same reason why it’s used for bananas, cucumbers, bread and much more.
Also, looking at the quantities that are needed to wrap and transport a material such as this soup, it’s easy to see why plastic beats alternatives as a packaging material:
To transport 50 liters of soup you need just 1 kilogram of plastic pouch, but 33 kilos of glass. So, it’s no wonder that in the food industry, plastics are used as the nr. 1 material for packaging. There is however one thing that needs no further argument:
We need to stop, or at least significantly lower the impact of plastic pollution waste.
Therefore we, as producers of packaging plastics, aim for two parallel strategies ;
One, always striving to produce ever thinner plastic that in turn will lead to a lesser total amount of the material needed.

And secondly, by creating a 100% circular plastic recycling system.
There are already some initiatives.
For example: Collecting supermarket-used plastics and fully recycling them so that they can be re-used in that same supermarket. The supermarket can reward the consumers when they return their plastics to it with a deposit, which they can then re-spend in that supermarket.
Leading to a full recycle circle in which we’ll need to work closely together with the entire chain.
It’s a pilot for many others to come which are currently being developed.

We’ll keep you posted how this turns out as soon as a supermarket is ready to participate.
Hope you’ll find this short clip interesting.
