🌍 Plastic Waste – A Global Responsibility, Not Just a Low-Income Country Problem A recent report highlights low-income countries as being responsible for the majority of plastic waste found on beaches around the world. It's easy to point fingers, but the important question is it truly fair to place the blame entirely on these nations? Many of the products that end up as plastic waste are produced in low-wage countries, but consumed in wealthier parts of the world. This raises more critical questions such as: How can we develop circular systems and innovations that take responsibility for the entire lifecycle of a product? What role do design, production, and consumption play in addressing this global challenge? And what can companies do to change the trajectory of plastic from production to recycling? 🌱 At SomaRecycle , we see opportunities where others see problems. By investing in innovative, eco-driven solutions that reduce our reliance on plastic and promote sustainable alternatives, we aim to make a positive impact — not just locally, but globally. 🌿 Let's shift the conversation from blame to action. 💡 #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #PlasticWaste #Environmental #Innovation #SomaRecycle Degmo Daar Ismail Abdullahi Sayidali Ahmed

The theme of Earth Day this year is Planet vs Plastic. 🌎 The impact of plastic pollution is now well known: the use of fossil-fuels to produce the materials, the emissions of production, the microplastics released as products slowly degrade and poison our environment. And yet – plastic production is expected to TRIPLE by 2060! 😱 The planet doesn’t want more plastic, and neither do people: 82% of people support cutting plastic production and 75% are in favour of bans on single-use items. Solinatra is the solution. The truly sustainable alternative to single use plastic. 🍃🔁 Materials made with 100% natural ingredients, that can be used to produce products and packaging that are fully compostable and biodegradable. Made with renewable, plant based ingredients – harnessing the power of nature to create a cleaner, greener future. Make every day Earth Day 🌏 Choose the planet, choose Solinatra! #Solinatra #MakeItAlright #Sustainability #EarthDay

Plastic waste can take hundreds of years to dissolve when exposed to sunlight or water as it gradually breaks into tiny particles called microplastics, smaller than 5 millimeters, and stay in the environment for a long time. Researchers from Kyushu University in Japan estimated that, in 2021, 24.4 trillion microplastics are present on the upper layer of the world’s oceans, and their weight ranges from 82,000 to 578,000 tons. Marine life ingest these particles, forming a component of our food chain. Another study by WWF in 2019 found that people typically consume 5 grams of plastic per week, equal to the size of a credit card, which amounts to 2,000 microplastics being ingested weekly through food, drinking water, and breathing, causing severe health issues such as disruption of hormonal balance and inflammation. The Deekali Plastic Project is dedicated to promoting sustainable solutions by implementing circular economy initiatives designed to significantly reduce plastic waste both on land and in our oceans.

Plastic pollution and microplastics, in particular, have dominated the news over the past few years. With so many negative stories coming out about the effects of these materials on our health and the planet, it's easy to become paralyzed. The situation can feel hopeless, but I’m positively confident that it isn't. I recently read an article (linked at the end of the post) that reminded me that there are solutions out there. The article covered the development of plant-based polymers that are biodegradable even at the microplastics level. This is a huge step forward for sustainability, and I'm sure it won't be the last.

Project Name - Code Green ! 🌱 A Call for Visionary Partners: Join Us in Launching a Multi-Phase Revolution for a Cleaner Planet 🌍 Our world is facing an environmental crisis. Plastic waste and air pollution have become urgent threats, impacting not just our ecosystems but our daily lives. The air quality index (AQI) is reaching hazardous levels, and plastic waste continues to pile up, harming our land and water. It’s high time for bold, transformative action. I’m thrilled to introduce the first phase of an ambitious project— beginning with a plastic recycling plant with an initial capacity of 800 MT per month, focused on converting plastic waste into valuable recycled materials. But this is just the beginning. This plant marks Phase 1 of a larger mission to tackle pollution head-on and promote sustainable industry practices. Our Vision Beyond Recycling: Phase 1 – Plastic Recycling: Through advanced recycling technology, we’ll begin by reducing plastic waste and setting a foundation for circular economy practices in India. Phase 2 – Tackling Air Pollution Directly: Once the plant is fully operational, we’ll expand into initiatives aimed at improving air quality, leveraging technology to capture and mitigate pollutants at their source. Phase 3 – Green Manufacturing Powered by Clean Energy: Our vision is to establish green manufacturing units that operate on clean energy, reshaping how we produce and consume goods and significantly reducing industrial pollution. Why Partner With Us? We’re seeking an investment partner / investor with a shared commitment to environmental change—someone passionate about making an impact at every stage of this project. Our phased approach, backed by a solid financial model and government support, is designed to scale for a lasting, positive impact on our planet. This is more than a business; it’s a movement to transform industry and combat pollution through innovation and responsibility. By joining us, you’re not only investing in a high-potential venture but also becoming part of a legacy of sustainability. If you’re ready to shape the future with us, let’s connect and discuss this vision in detail. Together, we can lead a revolution for a cleaner, healthier planet. #Sustainability #PlasticRecycling #AirQuality #CleanEnergy #GreenManufacturing #ImpactInvestment #CircularEconomy #EcoInnovation

🌍🌱 Happy World Earth Day! 🌱🌍 Today, as we celebrate our beautiful planet and strive for a greener future, let's reflect on the impact of #plasticpollution and the steps we can take to combat it. Did you know that every second, 15 tonnes of packaging waste are produced worldwide? Or that a staggering 300 million tons of plastic are manufactured annually, half of which is used for single-use items? But amidst these alarming statistics, there is hope. We have the power to make a difference by embracing sustainable alternatives like Biopap®’s certified #biobased, #compostable, and #recyclable food containers. Our unique, patented food containers, made from cellulose only and free from plastic, are a tangible step towards eliminating plastics and microplastics from our food chain and the whole packaging industry. Let's pledge to take concrete actions today. Whether it's eliminating plastic from production processes or choosing eco-friendly options in catering, let's lead the way towards a plastic-free future. By doing so, not only do we protect our environment, but we also foster innovation and competitiveness in our industries. Together, let's honor Earth Day by committing to a cleaner, greener tomorrow for generations to come. 🌎💚 #EarthDay #PlasticFreeFuture #sustainable #compostable #BIOPAP #PlanetvsPlastics #EndPlastics #EarthDay #EndPlasticPollution #GlobalPlasticsTreaty
