Concerns about plastic pollution in the oceans

At the beginning of the establishment of the biodegradable plastic production line, the members of the company had a deep understanding of the growing problem of plastics around the world.

The ocean has a great impact on the global ecosystem and is home to countless organisms. The ocean is home to about 2 million known organisms that not only provide rich genetic resources for marine ecosystems, but also play a key role in the food chain and ecological balance. However, large amounts of pollutants and garbage flow into the ocean, posing a potential threat to marine ecosystems.
Plastic pollution leaking into aquatic ecosystems has increased dramatically in recent years and is expected to more than double by 2030, with dire consequences for human health, the global economy, biodiversity, and the climate.

Plastic accounts for 85% of marine litter, and the amount of plastic pollution flowing into the ocean will nearly triple by 2040, increasing by 23-37 million tonnes per year. This means that there are about 50 kilograms of plastic per meter of coastline globally.

As a result, all marine life – from plankton, shellfish, birds, to turtles and mammals – is at serious risk of poisoning, behavioral disorders, starvation, and suffocation. Corals, mangroves and seagrass beds are also inundated with plastic waste, leaving them without access to oxygen and light.
At the same time, the human body is susceptible to plastic pollution of water sources in several ways, which can lead to hormonal changes, developmental disabilities, reproductive abnormalities, and cancer. Plastics are ingested through seafood, beverages, and even table salt; When plastics are suspended in the air, they are inhaled and penetrate the skin.
